"Personal Memoirs of P. H. Sheridan, Volume 1, Part 2" by Philip Henry Sheridan is a historical account likely written during the late 19th century, reflecting on Sheridan’s experiences as a cavalry officer in the American Civil War. The memoir provides insight into military strategies, operations, and the challenges faced by Sheridan and his troops, focusing on specific expeditions and battles, such as those at Booneville and in front of Murfreesboro'. The opening of the memoir details Sheridan's account of military maneuvers, the significance of logistical supplies, and his leadership during key moments of the conflict. Sheridan shares the preparations for an expedition to Booneville, where his regiment successfully destroys enemy supplies while facing Confederate straggler troops. He describes the morale of his men, their interactions with civilians, and their reactions to both victories and losses. As the narrative progresses, Sheridan highlights the strategic importance of maintaining supply lines, the challenges encountered during engagements with opposing forces, and the eventual promotions awarded to him as a result of his leadership during critical military operations.
