Tremain, Henry Edwin. Last hours of Sheridan’s cavalry. [*]$1.50. Bonnell.
“A reprint of war memoranda by a late brevet brigadier-general, major, aide-de-camp in the United States volunteers, originally published in sundry journals, and now reprinted in response to frequent requests, with an additional chapter compiled from official records and an appendix containing further interesting matter. The illustrations are a portrait of Sheridan, a map of the Appomattox campaign, and a picture of the holding up of Lee’s supply train.”—Critic.

“A sprightly and vivid account of the operations which brought that war to a close. An unusually valuable compilation of contemporary notes. Sheridan’s work in weaving the final toils around the fated Confederacy is here graphically narrated.”

“Valuable as a historical record, the volume has also the merit of a personal story charmingly and unaffectedly told that will make it of interest not only to the participants in the campaign, but to those thousands of others who like to read the stories of battles fought and victories won. So complete, so personal, and so interesting.”
