General Sheridan Double-Signed CDV
Scarce General Philip Henry Sheridan double-signed CDV. Signed in ink to front and verso, “PH Sheridan / Lieut General.” Large CDV shows a three-quarters length portrait of Sheridan in full dress uniform holding a saber in his left hand. Sheridan entered the war as a Captain but rose rapidly through the Union ranks thanks to several key battlefield successes. He received his first command in 1862, when he was made Colonel of the 2nd Michigan Cavalry. After leading that regiment at the Siege of Corinth, Sheridan was placed in command of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade of the Army of the Mississippi. That July, he routed an enemy force of 4,500 at Booneville, and was awarded his star and commission as Brigadier-General of volunteers. Sheridan then prosecuted successful engagements at Perryville and Stone’s River, and afterward, on the recommendation of General Rosecrans, was made Major-General of volunteers. Sheridan led forces at Chickamauga and, two months later, at Missionary Ridge, earning resounding praise and the Generalship of the U.S. Army. He took command of the cavalry of the Army of the Potomac in April 1864, and made it his mission to turn them into an offensive rather than defensive picket line force. With his victory over Early’s Confederate forces in the Shenandoah Valley in 1864, Sheridan became one of the first to use so-called “scorched earth” tactics in the Civil War, his men laying waste to vast amounts of enemy property and infrastructure and rendering 400 square miles of southern land utterly useless. His dogged cavalry pursuit of General Robert E. Lee in 1865 is considered Sheridan’s most significant contribution of the war, and was instrumental to Grant’s Appomattox Campaign and Lee’s ultimate surrender. Sheridan was made Lieutenant-General in 1869, when Grant was elected President, and he signs this postwar CDV with that ranking. Large image measures 4.25″ x 6.5″. Light general soiling to image. Slight fading to signature on verso; fountain ink signature to front remains bold and dark. An exceptional piece in excellent condition. Sold for $920.
