He moved to Ventura, California, with his parents and six siblings in 1873.[1] NewspapermanSheridan began working in the newspaper business for the Ventura Signal, which was owned by his brother E. M. Sheridan. He next moved to San Francisco and in 1882 became a correspondent for the San Francisco Chronicle in Washington, D.C.[1] By 1890, he had moved to Arizona where he helped found The Arizona Republican.[3][4] In 1898, he was a war correspondent during the Spanish–American War, reporting from Guam and the Philippines as a correspondent for The San Francisco Call and the New York Herald.[1][2] He was aboard the USS Charleston to report on the Spanish surrender at Guam.[4] After the war, he traveled extensively through Asia and the Pacific and became the associate editor of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser in Honolulu.[3] Political and civic effortsUpon his return from Hawaii, Sheridan worked for two years as private secretary to U.S. Senator Frank Putnam Flint.

In 1913, he founded and served as curator of the Pioneer Museum at the Ventura County Courthouse.[1][1] He was also the driving force behind the construction of the Maricopa Highway (now California State Route 33) going north from Ventura. The highway, finally completed in 1933, was considered a "crowning achievement" for Sheridan.[4][5] AuthorSheridan was also an author.
