Extractions: PEOPLE A-C D-H I-R ... Young, Brigham A ruthless warrior, General Philip Sheridan played a decisive role in the army's long campaign against the native peoples of the plains, forcing them onto reservations with the tactics of total war. Sheridan was born in Albany, New York, in 1831, but grew up in Ohio. He attended West Point and, after a year's suspension for assaulting a fellow cadet with a bayonet, graduated near the bottom of his class in 1853. Like all the U.S. generals of the Indian wars, Sheridan gained his military experience in the Civil War. An obscure lieutenant serving in Oregon when Fort Sumter was shelled, Sheridan rose to the command of the Union's cavalry by the time the Confederacy surrendered. He saw action in Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky and in Virginia, where his campaign through the Shenandoah Valley laid waste to an important source of Confederate supplies. At Petersburg he won an important victory that halted Robert E. Lee's retreat from Richmond and helped bring the war to an end. After the war, Sheridan was first given command over Texas and Louisiana, where his support for Mexican Republicans helped speed the collapse of Maximillian's regime and where his harsh treatment of former Confederates led to charges of "absolute tyranny." Within six months he was transferred to the Department of the Missouri, where he immediately shaped a battle plan to crush Indian resistance on the southern plains.

Extractions: His date and place of birth is uncertain, but he himself claimed to have been born in New York in 1831. Although he was destined to come out of the Civil War with the third greatest reputation among the victors, his military career had not begun auspiciously. It took him five years to graduate from West Point (1853) because of an altercation with fellow cadet and future Union general, William R. Terrill. After serving in a staff position during the early part of the war he was recommended for the command of a cavalry regiment by Gordon Granger. Within days of taking command he was in charge of the brigade with which he earned his first star at Booneville in northern Mississippi. In the late summer of 1862 he was given a division in Kentucky and middle Tennessee. He fought well at Perryville and Murfreesboro and was given a second star in the volunteers to date from the latter. At Chickamauga his division, along with almost two-thirds of the army, was swept from the field. However, at Chattanooga he regained his somewhat tarnished reputation when his division broke through the Rebel lines atop Missionary Ridge. There was some question of who, if anyone, had ordered the troops all the way up to the crest. His division made a limited pursuit.

Extractions: Major General Philip Henry Sheridan Philip Henry Sheridan, 1831-1888, graduated from the U.S. Military Academy. At the beginning of the Civil War, he was a lieutenant. Eventually, he became the colonel of the 2nd Michigan Cavalry. In 1862, he was promoted to major general of volunteers. In 1864, General Ulysses S. Grant made him the commander of all the cavalry forces in the Army of the Potomac. Sheridan performed well in the war. One of his most famous victories was the battle of Five Forks. It was there that he defeated Major General George Pickett, causing Confederate General Robert E. Lee to abandon Richmond, Virginia and retreat towards Appomattox where he surrendered. After the Civil War, Sheridan was given a command of American troops along the U.S.- Mexican border and also served as military governor of Texas and Louisiana. President Andrew Johnston, believing him to be too strict a governor, removed him from office and gave him the command of the Department of Missouri. By 1884, Sheridan was the commander-in-chief of the entire U.S. Army. He died in 1888, not long after he was appointed the rank of general. Back to the Main Page

His place of birth is uncertain, for Sheridan was apparently born sometime between his parents' emigration from Ireland and their settlement in Ohio; Ireland, Boston, Massachusetts, Albany, New York, and Somerset, Ohio, have each been suggested as Sheridan's birthplace. His father, an Irish Catholic, worked in turnpike construction after the family's arrival in Ohio. Young Sheridan received a basic education in local schools. He was appointed to the United States Military Academy in 1848 and graduated in 1853, thirty-fourth of fifty-two cadets. In 1854 he went to Fort Duncan, Texas, on the Rio Grande frontier, with the First United States Infantry. In late 1855 he was transferred to the Pacific Northwest, where he served until the Civil War qv started. In the war Sheridan was nicknamed "Little Phil" (he was only 5'5" tall) and became one of the top three northern heroes, along with Ulysses S. Grant and William T. Sherman. qv Though he was only a lieutenant in 1861, Sheridan was promoted to major general in 1864. He commanded divisions at the battles of Perryville, Kentucky (October 1862), Stones River, Tennessee (December 1862), Chickamauga, Georgia (September 1863), and Chattanooga, Tennessee (November 1863). In 1864 Grant made him commander of the cavalry corps of the Army of the Potomac in the eastern theater. He led a raid on Richmond, Virginia (May 1864), devastated the Shenandoah valley (August 1864-March 1865), and helped force the surrender of Robert E. Lee

http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h439.html

Extractions: Philip Henry Sheridan was born into a family of newly arrived Irish immigrants. The location of his birth is uncertain, but most authorities believe it was in Albany, New York, where the family lived for a short while before moving west. Some have argued for Boston, the family's port of entry, and others for Somerset, Ohio, where Sheridan grew up. All three were claimed as his birthplace by Sheridan at various points in his life. Through the auspices of a family friend, Sheridan secured an appointment to West Point. He was suspended a year for attacking a fellow cadet with a bayonet, but managed to graduate in 1853. He had been an undistinguished student. Sheridans early assignments were at frontier posts in Texas and Oregon. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he served as a supply officer in the western theater under Gen. Henry Halleck. In May 1862, Sheridan received command of the 2nd Michigan Volunteers, his first field assignment. Sheridan almost immediately demonstrated his quick wits. In July 1862 in Booneville, Mississippi, he managed by subterfuge to preclude a potentially devastating attack by a larger Confederate force. Sheridan arranged for a portion of his contingent to be hauled into town on a train, a maneuver readily observed by the enemy. Those very Union troops were then silently marched through a forest to a point on the rail line outside of town, where they reboarded the train and rode back into Booneville. The appearance was one of massive reinforcement.
