Burr served with the Second Michigan Cavalry and was a noted historian and author. Richard Josiah Hinton November 26 1830 - 1901 was a journalist author abolitionist officer commanding African American soldiers in the American Civil War Freedmen's Bureau official and U.S. government official. He was from England. He came to the United States in 1851. He reported from Haiti for James Redpath's Pine and Palm newspaper. He was an abolitionist who moved to Kansas in 1856 to help stop the spread of slavery. As the Civil War started he helped recruit "colored" Union army units. He served as an officer with the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry Regiment in 1862 and then as captain of Company B 2nd Kansas Colored Regiment. He wrote about General Philip Sheridan Abraham Lincoln John Brown and poet Richard Realf. He held several politically appointed positions within the federal government i.e. United States commissioner of emigration in Europe in 1867; inspector of U.S. consulates in Europe; special agent to President Ulysses S. Grant to Vienna in 1873; special agent to the Departments of Treasury and State on the frontier and in Mexico in 1883. Philip Henry Sheridan March 6 1831 - August 5 1888 was a career United States Army officer and a Union general in the American Civil War. His career was noted for his rapid rise to major general and his close association with General-in-chief Ulysses S. Grant who transferred Sheridan from command of an infantry division in the Western Theater to lead the Cavalry Corps of the Army of the Potomac in the East. In 1864 he defeated Confederate forces under General Jubal Early in the Shenandoah Valley and his destruction of the economic infrastructure of the Valley called "The Burning" by residents was one of the first uses of scorched-earth tactics in the war. In 1865 his cavalry pursued Gen. Robert E. Lee and was instrumental in forcing his surrender at Appomattox. Sheridan fought in later years in the Indian Wars of the Great Plains. Both as a soldier and private citizen he was instrumental in the development and protection of Yellowstone National Park. In 1883 Sheridan was appointed general-in-chief of the U.S. Army and in 1888 he was promoted to the rank of General of the Army during the term of President Grover Cleveland. Grant was also concerned about the situation in neighboring Mexico where 40000 French soldiers propped up the puppet regime of Austrian Archduke Maximilian. He gave Sheridan permission to gather a large Texas occupation force. Sheridan assembled 50000 men in three corps quickly occupied Texas coastal cities spread inland and began to patrol the Mexico-United States border. The Army's presence U.S. political pressure and the growing resistance of Benito Juárez induced the French to abandon their claims against Mexico. Napoleon III announced a staged withdrawal of French troops to be completed in November 1867. In light of growing opposition at home and concern with the rise of German military prowess Napoleon III stepped up the French withdrawal which was completed by March 12 1867. By June 19 of that year Mexico's republican army had captured tried and executed Maximilian. Sheridan later admitted in his memoirs that he had supplied arms and ammunition to Juárez's forces: ". which we left at convenient places on our side of the river to fall into their hands". In August 1867 Grant appointed Sheridan to head the Department of the Missouri and pacify the Plains. His troops even supplemented with state militia were spread too thin to have any real effect. He conceived a strategy similar to the one he used in the Shenandoah Valley. In the Winter Campaign of 1868-69 of which the Battle of Washita River was part he attacked the Cheyenne Kiowa and Comanche tribes in their winter quarters taking their supplies and livestock and killing those who resisted driving the rest back into their reservations. After his death from a heart attack his wife Irene never remarried saying "I would rather be the widow of Phil Sheridan than the wife of any man living." J. A. & R. A. Reid hardcover
