By ELMO SCOTT WATSON T HE death of Mrs. Philip Henry Sheridan in Wash ington recently not only marked the passing of the last surviving widow of a major figure in the Civil war but it also served to recall to Americans once more the meteoric career of the man whose name she bore. For the story of Phil Sheridan is a typical American “success story” in keeping with the tradition that no matter how humble a boy’s origin nor how poverty-stricken his youth may be, he has the chance to become wealthy or famous or both. In the case of Sheridan it was fame rather than wealth which he gained during the 57 years of his life. The fighting qualities which this fiery lit tle Irishman displayed in the days when the trooper was the most picturesque and ro mantic figure in our military forces won for him two popu lar nicknames—“Little Phil” and “Fighting Phil.” His genius for leadership and his unvarying success in battle as a cavalry commander also won for him the sobriquet of the “American Murat.” The implied compliment in that title, however, does less than jus- €*• Western Newspaper Union.

PHIL SHERIDAN tice to Sheridan. Napoleon’s great cavalry leader suffered de feat at the battles of Leipzig and Tolentino, shared in his chief’s disaster at Waterloo, finally was taken prisoner by his enemies and his career ended before a firing squad. In contrast to this is Sheridan’s record—he suffered several temporary reverses but he never, finally, lost a battle. During the Civil war, accord ing to Joseph Hergesheimer, Sheridan’s biographer, “the South soon developed a number of great cavalry leaders; the North eventually had but one— Gen. Philip Henry Sheridan.” More than that other competent military historians rank him among the outstanding cavalry leaders of all time. Considering these facts it seems rather ironi- his employer testified to the fact that he was a faithful worker, he also commented upon the fact that what time the boy wasn’t working he was “talkin’ soldier or playin’ soldier.” A Scrappy Cadet. At the age of seventeen Sheri dan had the good fortune to se cure an appointment to West Point. His limited education made the work there unusually difficult for him, but he made a fairly good record at the acade my. However, he lived up to his “scrappy” reputation by having a fight with a fellow cadet which resulted in his suspension for a year, so, instead of being gradu ated in the class of 1852, as he should have been, he was not graduated until 1853 and then he stood No. 34 in a class of 52. Following his graduation and appointment as a second lieuten ant in the infantry, Sheridan spent the next eight years in comparative obscurity. He was detailed to the frontier and saw service against the Indians in Oregon and Washington. This not only afforded him good training with the dragoons for his future career as a cavalryman but also gave him an insight into the In dian character which was to be particularly valuable during the Plains wars after the conflict of 1861-65. The outbreak of the Civil war, however, gave Sheridan h i s chance to display his real genius as a cavalry leader. Detailed first on the staff of General Hal- leck at St. Louis, he soon at tracted attention by his capacity for detail, his energy and his un failing devotion to duty, and these qualities resulted in his ap pointment as colonel of the Sec ond Michigan cavalry. Only a few weeks later he was elevated to the grade of brigadier general of the United States -Volunteers. That was in 1862, and by the end of the year he had been placed in command of a division and given his commission of ma jor general. And all of this had |*|1 nr Rienzi, the Black Charger on Which Sheridan Made His Famous Ride. cal that his fame among his fel- low-Americans has been chiefly perpetuated by a poem and one that is filled with historical in accuracies! • • * Bom March 6, 1831, the son of John and Margaret Sheridan, poor Irish immigrants to Amer ica, Sheridan spent his boyhood and youth near Somerset in Per ry county, Ohio, where he worked for a country storekeeper for the sum of 50 cents a week. Although happened when he was but thir ty-two years of age. Sheridan’s record during the first three years of the war was brilliant enough, with his part in the battles at Perryville, Stone River, Chickamauga and Chatta nooga, but he rose to the heights in 1864 when he was made chief of the cavalry corps of the Army of the Potomac and started upon his famous campaign in the Shenandoah valley of Virginia. There his problem was to check- !

Jubal A. Early of the Confederate army, and to devastate this rich country so that it could no longer feed the Confederate urmy. It was during this campaign that the incident occurred which inspired Read’s famous poem and gave rise to one of those pop ular legends so dear to the heart of Americans—and usually so filled with inaccuracies as to his torical fact! That legend tells how Sheridan at Winchester, hearing heavy firing in the direc tion of Cedar Creek, where his army was stationed, suspected something was wrong, sprang to the back of his coal black charg er, Rienzi, and made a mad dash of 20 miles to find his army be ing routed by Early’s surprise attack. Then, according to the school book histories, “Swinging his hat, he dashed along the line of bat tle, shouting, ‘Never mind, boys, we’ll whip them yet.’ The ‘boys’ responded by throwing up their caps and hurrahing with the wild est joy. Before night set in they drove Early out of the Valley.” Another version of the legend has him shouting, “Turn, boys, turn! We’re going back!” How ever, a reference to Sheridan’s “Personal Memoirs” and other standard authorities will demon strate that these legends need correction in several respects. In the first place, Sheridan wasn’t “twenty miles away” as the poet has it. It was only 13 or 14 miles from Winchester to Ce dar Creek and Sheridan had his first view of his disorganized army at Mill creek, less than a mile from Winchester. From there to the actual “front”—if there was such a thing on that day—it wasn’t much more than nine or ten miles. His ride was not made alone nor was it covered at top speed. He was accompanied by two of his aides-de-camp—Maj. George A. Forsythe (later famous as an Indian fighter in the West) and Capt. Joseph O’Keefe. At places along the route he was forced to leave the road and make detours through the fields and he stopped frequently to give orders to of ficers about rallying their men. His Greatest Service. Although Sheridan is known to more Americans because of this incident than any other in his career, his victory at Cedar Creek was among the less not able of the many which he won during the war. Much more im portant were his harassing dashes against the Confederate forces in northern Virginia dur ing the last days of the war, when he finally wore out the Con federate cavalry, inferior in num bers, mounts and equipment, and broke the morale of the Confed erate infantry. By doing that he contributed greatly to the forces which led to the surrender of General Lee at Appamattox. After the Civil war Sheridan’s career was distinguished by his service on the Mexican border in the days when the Maximilian incident was a threat to our peaceful relations with European countries, and by his work dur ing the Indian wars on the plains when he was in command of the operations which finally brought about the subjugation of the war like tribes.- He was guest ob server on the staff of King Wil liam during the Franco-Prussian war and became commander in chief of the United States army after the retirement of Sherman. Sheridan died in 1888 at the age of fifty-seven years with the rank of full general, a grade which had been restored by congress that year in his favor. Helen Jepson want to be the whole show. She would like a chance to see some of the scenes that were cut out of “The Follies” though. There was one where she really looked like herself, no wig, no special make up, and her favorite dress. There was another where Bobby Clark dropped her kerplunk on the floor. * Reports of “Merrily We Live” in which Brian Aberne co-stars with Constance Bennett were so good that the Hal Roach studio immediately wired to New York where he was vacationing and urged him to re turn at once.
