A Brief Biography of GENERAL PHILIP HENRY SHERIDAN The Sheridan Monument Download our Civil War Days Screen Saver Little Phil, The Story of General Philip Henry Sheridan - A new book by William F. Drake. John and Mary Minah Sheridan, Philip's parents, came to America in 1830 at the urging of John's uncle, Thomas Gainor, living in Albany, New York. John and Mary were second degree cousins from County Cavan, Ireland. Before leaving Ireland the couple had two children, Patrick H. and Rosa. Rosa died aboard ship and was buried at sea. Philip Henry was born March 6, 1831. His birthplace is still a mystery. There are no records available at Albany, New York, Boston, Mass. (where their ship landed), nor at Somerset, Ohio. Phil at various times claimed all three places. He arrived with his parents in Somerset as a babe-in-arms and spent his childhood here. The Sheridan family increased here by the births of Mary, Michael, and John L. Sheridan attended school in Somerset until the age of fourteen, at which time he went to work for various businessmen, notably Fink and Dittoe. In 1848 Congressman Thomas Ritchie, who knew both Phil and his father, obtained an appointment to West Point for Phil. In 1851, his third year at the Point, he was suspended for a year for fighting with a fellow cadet, William Terrill, Va. Brig. Gen., Union. Phil graduated 34th in a class of 52 in July, 1853, and was assigned to the 1st Infantry at Fort Duncan, Texas, as a 2nd Lt. In 1855 he was transferred to the 4th Infantry in the Pacific Northwest. In April, 1856, he was assigned to duty at the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation in Yamhill County, Oregon, and was promoted to 1st Lt.

var loc = "../../"; Examining the Gulf War through the eyes and in the words of those who played major roles General Norman Schwarzkopf (Commander-in-Chief, Central Command (CENTCOM)) Q: The first night of the war. Can you recall your entry into the war room that night? Schwarzkopf: In the days preceding, we tried to keep it a very very deep secret, exactly when these attacks would be launched... General Calvin Waller (Deputy Commander, CENTCOM) Q: Buster Glosson says that if he could have carried on hitting the strategic targets, Saddam would have waved the white flag... Waller: Anyone who says if they had been allowed just a few more days of strategic bombing that there wouldn't have been a need for a ground attack, I think is absolutely smoking something... General Charles Horner (Commander, US Ninth Air Force) Q: How did you come to decide to start to hit the biological warfare targets? Horner: One of the thorniest problems in targeting was biological warfare storage areas - we knew they were storing anthrax and botulism... General Walt Boomer (Marine Air-Ground Commander) Q: What did the battle at Khafji tell you about the Iraqis?

Stereo View The Britan's Bravest charge the Kopjes [F.S.282.279] Sir Wilfred Laurier was Canada's Prime Minister; Queen Victoria still ruled over Britain and her Empire. Joseph Chamberlain was Secretary of State for Colonial Affairs in the Cabinet of Lord Salisbury. Chamberlain encouraged support from the colonies for the British position in Sou th Africa, not so much for the manpower but rather for the appearance of colonial solidarity and to convince the European powers of the legitimacy of Britain's war with the Boers. "By offering soldiers spontaneously and enthusiastically, the colonies would also demonstrate to a skeptical and hostile Europe the British Empire's reserve strength." On October 3, 1899 the Colonial Office requested that Canada provide a contingent of four units of 250 men each. The units were to be ready to sail for South Africa by October 31st. Authorization to commence recruitment was issued to the Military Districts by October 14, and by October 30, the various recruiting stations across the country were successful. In fact, in many cases the recruitment stations had to turn away volunteers. The recruits were assembled at Quebec, 1,110 volunteers, including four nurses, four reporters, and twenty-three surplus officers. They were all crowded aboard the troop transport, SS Sardinian. The official designation of the contingent was 2nd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel William Otter.

THE MEXICAN WAR NOTE: The following treatise is rather long (15K). You may wish to use your browser to save it and review or print it out later. It is mostly about the Mexican War as it affected the Arizona region. Mineral Creek in PinalsNamed by Gen. Stephen W. Kearny The writing of nineteenth-century American history is often dominated by the great and furious events of the Civil War of 1861-1865. This is only rightly so, as that war shaped subsequent American life in ways that reverberate down to even our own time. There was, however, another war in that century, nearly forgotten today, that also had an enormous impact on America: the Mexican War of 1846-1848. In many ways, the Mexican War was, indeed, the forerunner of the Civil War, for most of the great warriors of 1861-1865 actually had their first taste of battle, and tested their character, in the Mexican War. But, even more importantly, as a direct result of the Mexican War the United States acquired dominion over lands that nearly doubled its previous size. The future states of Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and California were all obtained as a direct result of the war. Much of the future economic wealth of the United Statesindeed, its very status as a truly

76. Robert Edward Lee Biography The son of Revolutionary war hero Light Horse Harry Leewho fell into disrepute His Southern assignments included major general, Virginia s land and http://www.civilwarhome.com/leebio.htm

Robert Edward Lee "With all my devotion to the Union and the feeling of loyalty and duty of an American citizen, I have not been able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, my children, my home. I have therefore resigned my commission in the Army, and save in defense of my native State, with the sincere hope that my poor services may never be needed, I hope I may never be called on to draw my sword....." Lee in a letter to his sister, April 20, 1861 The idol of the South to this day, Virginian Robert E. Lee had some difficulty in adjusting to the new form of warfare that unfolded with the Civil war, but this did not prevent him from keeping the Union armies in Virginia at bay for almost three years. The son of Revolutionary War hero "Light Horse" Harry Lee-who fell into disrepute in his later years attended West Point and graduated second in his class. During his four years at the military academy he did not earn a single demerit and served as the cadet corps' adjutant. Upon his 1829 graduation he was posted to the engineers. Before the Mexican War he served on engineering projects in Georgia, Virginia, and New York. During the war he served on the staffs of John Wool and Winfield Scott. Particularly distinguishing himself scouting for and guiding troops, he won three brevets and was slightly wounded at Chapultepec. Following a stint in Baltimore Harbor he became superintendent of the military academy in 1852. When the mounted arm was expanded in 1855, Lee accepted the lieutenant colonelcy of the 2nd Cavalry in order to escape from the painfully slow promotion in the engineers. Ordered to western Texas, he served with his regiment until the 1857 death of his father-in-law forced him to ask for a series of leaves to settle the estate.

Vietnam War / General From "Our War: What We Did in Vietnam and What It Did To Us" by David Harris, pp. 15-16. (New York: Times Books, Random House, 1996) Gibson, James William. The Perfect War: Technowar in Vietnam. New York: Atlantic Monthly Press, 1986. 523 pages. James Gibson is a left-of-center scholar who noticed a curious lack of interest in addressing the failure of U.S. policy in Vietnam during the years following the war. Pundits were quick to use Vietnam as a point of departure for discussions of other topics, but they carefully avoided discussing the war itself. Liberals felt that Vietnam was a mistake, conservatives felt that we lost due to self-imposed restraints, and no one examined the evidence. Gibson's loose thesis is that the U.S. fought the war as an affair of statistics and technology, and made the mistake of assuming that the enemy was fighting the same war. The assumption was that the enemy would have to acknowledge our superior firepower and our higher body counts, and then they would surrender. For Washington, the war was a logistical exercise in production: when certain quotas were met, then certain boundaries were redrawn to reflect newly-secured areas on the map. But when reports from the field were skewed to reflect these priorities, it only served to increase our bureaucratic isolation. Ultimately the managers in Washington were far removed from the realities in Vietnam, and had become the dupes of their own definitions. Halberstam, David. The Best and the Brightest.
