From
“Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst
November 9
On meeting General Philip Sheridan, who was only 5' 4,” Lincoln shook
his hand and said, “General Sheridan, when this peculiar war began I thought
cavalrymen should be at least 6 feet 4 inches high, but,” still gazing down on
the short general, “I have changed my mind: 5' 4” will do in a pinch.” -
Abraham Lincoln
