This is the rare first edition, two volume set of “The Personal Memoirs of P.H. Sheridan, the United States General”. The front page features a portrait engraving and appears to be inscribed with an autograph. The book was published by Charles L. Webster & Company New York in 1888 and press of Jenkins & McCowan. The set is a first edition, dated 1888, and includes both volume I and volume II. 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, as well as portraits of other figures, such as Generals Gregg, Torbert, Merritt, James Wilson, Emory, Horatio Wright, and George A. Custer. The set also includes 25 maps of Civil War campaigns and 1 of the Indian Campaign of 1868-69. The book set shows good condition overall, with some light wear across the covers. The books measure 9 1/4" tall by 6 1/2" wide.
