This is the rare first edition, two volume set of “The Personal Memoirs of P.H. Sheridan, the United States General”. The front appears to be inscribed with an autograph and portrait engraving.

The completed set consists of first edition, 1888 dated and printed, volume I and II books; volume I shows a date of 1891. The books have a vast wealth of information on the Civil War, specifically Sheridan’s insights on the subject. Each volume contains different rare steel engraved portraits of Sheridan as front pieces and portraits of other figures, such as Generals Gregg, Torbert, Merritt, James Wilson, Emory, Horatio Wright, and George A. Custer, as well as 25 maps of Civil War campaigns and 1 of the Indian Campaign of 1868-69. The books are in overall good condition and show minor wear. Each book is 6.5” x 9.25” and 1 5/8” thick.
