Personal Memoirs of the Great Fight
ing General of the Union.
General Grant in speaking of General
Sheridan said: CT don't think anyone
can give Sheridan too high praise; he
belongs to the very first rank of soldiers,
not only of our country but of the world,
and I would rank him with Napoleon
and Frederick, and the great command
ers.''
Lord Wolseley, in London on Aug.
25th last, paid the following tribute to
General Sheridan, before group of sol
diers who fought with that commander
at Stone River: sc should greatly like
to take part in any meeting or undertak-
ING that is meant to do honor to 80 great
an American General as your late Com
mander-in-C Chief. His career always had
for me the greatest interest. 1t was he
who first taught the mounted troops OF
the United States what the real power OF
their arm was, and how they could be
used to the greatest advantage. No one
contributed more largely to bring the
war to an end than did Gen. Sheridan.
He was a grand fellow all round, and L
feel as proud of him and his achieve
ments as though he had held commIs-
sion of the Queen instead OF one OF the
President"
