Pompous ___ comes to mind. And yes, I know he did it under orders, but I bet he enjoyed every minute of it. Just my Southern commentary.

I am a Northerner and from what I have read (albeit little) about Sheridan, I think your "commentary", Southren or otherwise, is pretty accurate. I have a biography of Sheridan sitting in my "to read" stack. It might move closer to the top now as my interest has been piqued.
