About this book
Personal Memoirs of P. H. Sheridan, General, United States Army, Volume 1 is written by Philip Henry Sheridan. The preface calls the work a record, penned by the writer's own hand, of the events of his life and of his participation in a great struggle for national existence, human liberty, and political equality. The preface says the writer makes no pretension to literary merit and that the importance of the subject-matter of his narrative is his only claim on the reader's attention.
The narrator says he was always accompanied on expeditions by a soldier named Frankman, belonging to "D" company, who was a fine sportsman, and a butcher by trade. The narrator says almost every expedition was rewarded with a good supply of deer, antelope, and wild turkeys. The narrator tells of a woman who related to the doctor that she had "refugeed" from East Tennessee and, on arriving in Louisville, assumed men's apparel and obtained employment as a teamster in the quartermaster's department. The text says the Massanutten ranges, with their spurs and hills, divide the Shenandoah Valley into two valleys, the one next the Blue Ridge being called the Luray.
