Download Terrible Swift Sword: The Life of General Philip H. Sheridan AudioBook Free
Alongside Ulysses S. Give and William Tecumseh Sherman, Philip H. Sheridan is minimal known of the triumvirate of generals most responsible for winning the Civil Conflict. Yet, before Sherman's famous march through Georgia, it was Standard Sheridan who unveiled scorched-earth warfare south, and it was his Cavalry Corps that compelled Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. Sheridan's innovative cavalry strategies and "total war" strategy became staples of 20th-century warfare. After the war, Sheridan ruthlessly suppressed the raiding Plains Indians much as he previously the Confederates - by eliminating warriors and burning up villages - but he also defended booking Indians from corrupt brokers and contractors. Sheridan, an enthusiastic hunter and conservationist, later ordered the U.S. cavalry to occupy and operate Yellowstone Country wide Park to safeguard it from commercial exploitation.
