He Considered Him, a. Fighting

Combination Of Great Oar
80 Ing and Caution. ~ s

John Russell Young, the distin-
gulshed Civil war and Franco-Russian
war correspondent and newspaper edi-
tor. who accompanied General Grant
in his tour of the world, was chatting
with some friends at his hotel In
Washington shortly after President
Mckinley, in 1897. had made him libra
rian OF the new Congressional library,
when some reference was made by
one of the party to General Grant, and
especially to Grants very high regard
for General Sheridan. both as q soldier
and as q man.
yes, / know" said Mr.. Young. "in
what high regard General Grant held
Sheridan, for often heard Grant say
that he was sure that Sheridan had no
superior. living or dead. as the com.
mander Of an army.
II remember. on one occasion. Grant
met several Americans one evening
after q reception. and in the course Of
conversation he was asked what he
thought Sheridan would have done
had he been In command at Gettys
burg Instead Of General Meade. Gen
eral Grant replied practically in these
words:
There should be very little or nc
criticism Of the manner In which
Meade fought the battle Of Gettysburg
In three days battle there are al
ways sure to be some mistakes. What
ever these may have been upon our
side, Meade speedily rectified them.
"'But you have asked me what Sher'
idan would have done had he been

drawn battle. He was of the opinion
that every battle was victory to one
side or the other. although the advan
tage may have been slight. Now, his
temperament, his understanding OF
warfare and his methods would. ] be
lieve, have persuaded Sheridan, had
he been In command at Gettysburg
that there was only one thing to do
after Lee began to retreat, and that
was to follow Lee so swiftly that he
would be unable to reform his lines
/ have sometimes thought that II Sher'
idan had been there there wouldn't
have been much of Lees army left
after Gettysburg tas fought. How
ever, do not say this In the way OF
any criticism OF General Meade
Then" continued Mr.. Young. zone
OF those present suggested to General
Grant that Meade's army was prob
ably exhausted by three days lighting
and It might have been perilous to put
the army in pursuit Of Lee.
For moment or two General
Grant was silent, and then he said:
"Tf Sheridan had an army Of moi

How He Planned to Go South

that called me to the White House. but
do remember that the president told
me that he was going on that day or
TIE next to send several nominations
to the senate for brigadier general.
He asked me to look over the list I
glanced at the names rapidly. and saw
that they were all good names. But
1t occurred to me that the president
had overlooked one army officer. and
l ventured to say to him:
"Mr. President. don't see the
name of Col. George H. Thomas here
~ don't know much about Thomas
said Lincoln. Would he make good
general?
None BETTER / said, and II you
want any guarantee for him. I'll give

We'll, Sherman, Mr.. Lincoln re-
piled. II you say SO, 1t must be SO, and
Ill send his name In soon.
"A little later. as l was on my way
up to the capitol to see my brother,
John Sherman. It suddenly flashed
over me that had not seen Thomas
for some IL years, that he was Vir-
ginian by birth, and that possibly he
might take the same view that Lee
had In April, when he resigned his
commission as lieutenant coolnel In the
Second cavalry. with which Thomas
had been stationed since 1855, to go
with the Confederacy. 1t was start
ling thought in view Of the fact that
/ had just guaranteed Thomas to the
president. / worried over the situa-
ton for awhile, and then said to my
self: Well. know what he was, and
I will find out what he is. My own
intuition tells me that he says with
the Union. but will find out
II learned that Thomas was with his
regiment In Pennsylvania, not 80 very
far north of Baltimore, and I fastened
there as soon as railroad train and
horse would carry me. When reach
ed the regiment and was shown to
the colonel's headquarters, found no
me that Colonel Thomas had gone out
little ways on horseback, but thought
he would be back speedily.
