Editorial Review Book Description In "Little Phil" the author shows not only the history, but also the little things in the life of General Philip Henry Sheridan that have been ignored by other writings.How exciting it is to run across rare little tidbits, such as reading an old newspaper only to find out that the General was so appreciated that a great university awarded him an honorary degree - or that he was Grand Marshall of the parade following the dedication of the Washington Monument. Those expecting to read an exhaustive study of the movements of armies as they battled each other during the Civil War in this country will have to read elsewhere.The author makes no pretense of presenting a scholarly recitation of the historic military maneuvers and tactics that surrounded the man's career.His purpose is to present the story of the man, using his own words and the words of his contemporaries so that we might see what he saw, hear what he heard, and feel what he felt.

Editorial Review Book Description 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. He fought well at Perryville and Murfreesboro and was given a second star in the volunteers. When Grant went to the East, he placed Sheridan in command of the Army of the Potomac's mounted arm. Following Early's threat to Washington, Grant tapped Sheridan to command a new military division, comprised of three departments, and charged him with clearing out the Shenandoah Valley.For this campaign he was named brigadier and major general in the regular army and received the Thanks of Congress. The next March he destroyed Early's remaining forces at Waynesboro and then went on a raid, threatening Lynchburg. Rejoining Grant, he smashed through the Confederate lines at Five Forks, necessitating the evacuation of both Petersburg and Richmond. It was his cavalry command, backed by infantry, which finally blocked Lee's escape at Appomattox. This is a digital reprint of the two Volume C.L. Webster Shoulder Board editions “As Published” in 1888. This is Volume 1 (ISBN 1582181853) of 2 (ISBN 1582181861). Customer Reviews (2)

Little Phil
A great story--a passable history
Interesting but superficial The lack of personal detail is disquieting. There is insufficient material on Sheridan's mistress from the 1850's and his marriage late in life. A strong point of the book is Morris' descriptions of little Phil's relationships with Grant and Sherman, two generals infinitely superior and more intelligent that Sheridan. Morris does a good job in explaining this triumvirate that saved the nation during the civil war. This is a good biography, but scarcely groundbreaking or on the cutting edge of scholarship. The elusive character of Philip Sheridan will have to await a more gifted and grounded biographer.
The horseman cometh
As biographies go, about average I did find aproblem with this book, despite itsbeing fairly well written.While itprovided some reasonably detailed information on Sheridan's life, times andpersonality, I didn't feel that it approached depthfound in the bestbiographies of military leaders.When I finished "Sheridan," Ifelt I hadn't really been introduced to the man;I almost got the feelingMorris left outinformation in order to keep down the length of the book(which runs only to 393 pages.) "Sheridan" is a good basicsurvey of one of the great U.S. Army generals of the 19th century, but it'snot a particularly penetrating study ofGeneral Philip Sheridan's life andtimes.In my view, Phil Sheridan deserves better. ...

Hmmmm
Great bio of "Little Phil"
Great Indian Wars Book
Well told story - beware of the March 10 review
ANOTHER BOILER PLATE EFFORT I have been reading about the Civil War and Indian Fighting Generals for over half a century. There is absolutely nothing new here. Any bright High School kid could have written this book in a good library.

Guess the author wouldn't like Patton either.

Outstanding Campaign Study
Just Excellent!
Gory Enough for All
IT IS ABOUT TIME The battle is exciting, complex and had Hampton had just a little more strength Sheridan would have been in bad trouble; as it was he was hard pressed to claim any real results. It is also hoped that this draws more attention to the preservation of this battlefield, which is in pretty good shape- but the bull dozers will come eventually. This is a book for learning Civil War personalities, style of command, how cavalry fought in the civil war and documents this battle superbly.Well done and well worth the price od admission. I'll be on the outlook for more by Messr Wittenburg.

Banners at Shenandoah Banners at Shenandoah is very much young adult or even for younger audiences; it's the story of a young man who becomes Sheridan's guidon bearer. One thing I did like is that the account is not romanticized. Northern depredations in the Shenandoah, scouting in Southern uniform, etc. are described--though strangely separated from the idol-worshipping view of Sheridan himself. But I found the account vague, bloodless both literally and metaphorically, lacking in description and tension. The Rebels, in particular, are faceless--you'd hardly know they wore gray. Not something I'd recommend seeking out. There is better Civil War young adult fiction out there.
Excellent historical fiction for teen readers. |

Editorial Review Book Description Newhall had both Sheridan's ear and confidence during the campaign from Petersburg to Appomattox in April 1865.He was sent by the general to convey information directly to Ulysses S. Grant and George Meade, and he was present with Sheridan during Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox Court House.Loyal to the last, Newhall vigorously defended Sheridan's controversial relief of Major General G.K. Warren from command of the Fifth Corps after the Battle of Five Forks on April 1, 1865. Wittenberg has carefully transcribed and annotated Newhall's original text, adding maps, photographs, a preface, a biographical sketch of Newhall, an order of battle, and a selected bibliography.He also includes the text of a pamphlet that Warren printed defending himself and criticizing Sheridan, and Newhall's response to it. An enlightening insider's view of Union leadership during the Civil War's denouement, Wittenberg's excellent edition of Newhall's lively and descriptive commentary rescues an important and informative perspective from the vault of history. |
