N2  - “Personal Memoirs of P. H. Sheridan, General, United States Army — Volume 2” by Philip Henry Sheridan is a historical account written during the late 19th century. This volume covers Sheridan's military experiences during the American Civil War, particularly detailing key battles in the Virginia campaign and his strategies, including the organization of scouts and intelligence operations. The memoirs provide insights into Sheridan's leadership, military tactics, and interactions with other notable figures, including General Grant.  The opening of the memoir begins with Sheridan discussing the organization of a scout unit for better intelligence-gathering on enemy positions. He details his creation of a battalion of scouts, managing to infiltrate Confederate lines through a loyal old man and a dedicated schoolteacher named Miss Rebecca Wright. Sheridan highlights the significance of the intelligence supplied by Wright, which played a crucial role in the Union's success at the Battle of the Opequon. The narrative introduces key military actions, including the planning and execution of cavalry charges, and foreshadows the complexities of leadership and coordination in wartime, all while emphasizing the personal stakes and bravery of individuals involved.
