Summary "Personal Memoirs of P. H. Sheridan, Volume 1, Part 1" by Philip Henry Sheridan is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's life and military career, particularly focusing on his experiences during the American Civil War and the subsequent conflicts with Native American tribes in the West. It serves as both a personal narrative and a historical document, offering insights into Sheridan's actions and reflections during pivotal moments in American history. The opening of this memoir provides an engaging introduction to Sheridan's early life, detailing his ancestry, upbringing, and the challenges he faced on his path to becoming a military officer. Sheridan explains his family's emigration from Ireland to the United States and the various trials they encountered as they settled in Ohio. He recounts his formative years, including his education, his stint as a clerk in a grocery store, and ultimately his appointment to the prestigious West Point Military Academy. The narrative sets the stage for the future chapters, which promise to delve into Sheridan's evolving military career, his strategic mindset, and encounters with both soldiers and Native Americans in the growing frontier.
