Sheridan, Volume 2, Part 5" by Philip Henry Sheridan is a historical account detailing the experiences of General Sheridan during the closing months of the American Civil War, likely written in the late 19th century after the conflict's conclusion. The memoir focuses on Sheridan's military engagements and strategies, particularly during significant battles such as Five Forks and Sailor's Creek, culminating in the surrender of General Lee, which effectively ended the war. The opening of this memoir introduces several key military engagements, starting with Sheridan's observations and strategic decisions during the battle at Dinwiddie Court House, where General Pickett's forces faced off against Sheridan's cavalry and the Fifth Corps. The narrative dives into the tactical maneuvers and the urgent communications among commanders as the Union forces sought to outmaneuver the Confederates. It sets the stage for the subsequent battles that would lead to the eventual surrender of Lee's army, highlighting Sheridan's leadership, the challenges his forces faced, and the intense combat that characterized these final days of the Civil War.
