[Wild Bill]

I still think the best bio of Sheridan is Paul Andrew Hutton, Phil Sheridan and his Army. For a [ositive view of Sheridan during Reconstruction, see Joseph Green Dawson III, Army Generals and Reconstruction: Louisiana 1865-1877. For a critical view of Sheridan, see William L Richter The Army in Texas during Reconstruction. Dawson, a classmate of mine, has accused me of writing "Confederate History." Indeed! For an overview of Sheridan, see Richter, "General hip Sheridan, the Historians, and Reconstruction," Civil War History, 33 (No. 2, June 1987), 131-54.
