In Forty-Six Years in the Army, John M. Schofield, Union Army general and post-Civil War commander of the U.S. Army, provides provocative views of General William T. Sherman's campaign against Atlanta and army operations in the late nineteenth century. In the postwar years he became secretary of war under Andrew Johnson, and he held various commands until 1888, when he succeeded General Philip Sheridan as commander of the army. As William M. Ferraro notes in his foreword, Schofield offers valuable insight not only into Sherman's campaign and Civil War battles but also into such postwar concerns as Reconstruction, diplomacy, Indian affairs, the sensational case at West Point involving black cadet Johnson C. Whittaker, the Fitz-John Porter court martial, and labor unrest.

Jon Schofield was an American soldier who held major commands during the American Civil War. He later served as U.S. Secretary of War and commanding general of the United States Army. During the Civil War Schofield was a major in a Missouri volunteer regiment and served as chief of staff under Major General Nathaniel Lyon. He spent time in command of the Army of the Frontier. His military career was long and distinguished. His memoirs are an excellent look into the military history of the United States.

John McAllister Schofield (1831-1906) was an American soldier who held major commands during the Civil War. He later served as U.S. Secretary of War and commanding general of the U.S. Army. He served for two years in the artillery, was assistant professor of natural and experimental philosophy at West Point and while on leave was professor of physics at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. When the Civil War broke out, Schofield became a major in a Missouri volunteer regiment and served as chief of staff to Major General Nathaniel Lyon. He acted with "conspicuous gallantry" during the Battle of Wilson's Creek (Missouri) and was awarded the Medal of Honor in 1892 for that action. For his services at Franklin he was awarded the rank of brigadier general in the Regular Army and the brevet rank of major general. From 1876 to 1881, Schofield was superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy. From 1888 until his retirement in 1895, Schofield was commanding general of the U. S. Army. Schofield died at St. Augustine, Florida, and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
