Tight, decent later printing of this 1865 text, part of this publisher's "Young American's Library of Modern Heroes" series. Title as it appears on half-title page: "Life and Military Career of Major-General Philip Henry Sheridan." Despite heavy wear, a presentable and handleable early reprint edition -- and actually rather uncommon.
