Excerpt from Notes on the Personal Memoirs of P. H Sheridan For a quarter of a century past, all criticism, or argument, or narration, tending to support, or de fend, the reputations of the veterans of the Virginia battle fields, as against statements. Or implications, or claims, made by. Or on behalf of, Generals Grant and Sheridan. Has been met by clamorous charges of jealousv. General Sheridan's Memoirs are an in teresting commentary upon this line of argument. Commencing on page 353 of his first volume, he re-states from his report of May 13, 1866, in brief, that his new command presented a fine appearance; that the showing, so far as the health and equipment of the men were concerned, was good and satisfac tory, but that the horses were thin and worn down by excessive and, it seemed to him, unnecessary picket duty; that from the very beginning of the war the enemv had shown more wisdom respecting his cavalry, and that at that very time he (the enemy) was husbanding the strength of his horses by keep ing them to the rear so that they might be in good condition for the impending campaign. He says that. Before and after a review of his troops a few days after he had assumed command, he took in the situation and determined to remedy it if possible.
