Sheridan was a Union cavalry general in the Civil War and then the Indian wars. His commander in the Civil War, Ulysses S. Grant, said "General Sheridan has no superior as a general, either living or dead, and perhaps not an equal." In 1883 he would become commanding officer of the United States Army.
