| Summary | "Personal Memoirs of P. H. Sheridan, General, United States Army — Volume 1" by Philip Henry Sheridan is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The memoir details the experiences and reflections of General Sheridan, focusing on his life, military career, and significant events during the American Civil War and its aftermath. Sheridan aims to recount his involvement in these notable historical moments while striving to maintain a balanced perspective of his role in them. The opening of the memoir begins with Sheridan explaining the motivation behind writing his memoirs, dedicating them to his comrades and future historians. He describes his ancestry, early life, education, and initial aspirations to become a soldier. Growing up in a family of Irish immigrants, Sheridan recounts his modest beginnings in Albany, New York, and their move to the Midwest. He shares experiences from his youth, including working as a clerk, the challenges in education, and his eventual journey to the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he faced various trials—including hazing—before graduating and starting his military career. This sets the stage for further accounts of his adventures in the army. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
