Title: Border Command
Description: This book is an examination of General Sheridan's post-Civil War activities in the West. Far from being a biography of Sheridan, however, this book examines the issues relevant in the various capacities in which Sheridan served, and looks at the way they were handled, both by Sheridan and his subordinates. This work is far from being a comprehensive look at Sheridan's post-war career, and in fact covers only the most important topics (the most prevalent being the Indian Wars), but it nevertheless serves its purpose. By itself, this cannot be considered a definitive work, but as part of a study, either of Sheridan or of the frontier army, this book is definitely worthy of consideration.
