Personal Memoirs of P. H. Sheridan 1888 1st Edition Two Book Volumes Good Cond

  

General United States Army in two Volumes, New York: Charles L. 6 1/4" x 9 1/4" x 1 ¾ (octavo). Page quality is good throughout the books. This attractive book set is bound in dark green colored cloth with sharp, gold lettering and the image of General Sheridan on horseback. This is a wonderful "Shoulder Strap" book set, featuring the rank of the Major General on the spine of each book.

Illustrations and fold out maps throughout the books. Volume 1 last page contains a paper stamp of the Protective Association of Publishers and Booksellers. Volume 2 was preserved in a plastic sleeve, so it's in better shape. Volume 1 has edge fraying on top and bottom of spine.

Both volumes have edge discoloration, although Volume 1 more pronounced. Binding is tight and there are no loose pages. Gilt decoration clear and crisp. No musty or mildew smell. From Corinth through Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge, he made himself a reputation for courage and efficiency; after his defeat of J. Stuart's rebel cavalry, Grant named him commander of the Union forces in the Shenandoah Valley. There he laid waste to the entire region, and his victory over Jubal Early's troops in the Battle of Cedar Creek brought him worldwide renown and a promotion to Major General in the regular army. It was Sheridan who cut off Lee's retreat at Appomattox, thus securing the surrender of the Confederate Army. Subsequent to the Civil War, Sheridan was active in the 1868 war with the Comanche and Cheyenne, where he won infamy with his statement that "the only good Indians I ever saw were dead". In 1888 he published his. Sheridan, one of the best first-hand accounts of the Civil War and the Indian wars which followed.

Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition - this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment.

My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt. This item is in the category "Books & Magazines\Antiquarian & Collectible".
