Description

"With the ascendancy of Ulysses S. Grant in late 1863, the command tone of the U.S. Army underwent a dramatic change. Phillip Sheridan set about reorganizing the command to reflect Grant's new style. During the last six months of the war, he relieved three generals of their commands due to their inability to follow his orders precisely"--Provided by publisher.
