Kill Jeff Davis: The Union Raid on Richmond, 1864. University of Oklahoma Press, $29.95 ISBN 9780806151533 Ambition’s End: The Union Raid on Richmond, 1864 In late February of 1864, not quite four thousand Union cavalrymen, commanded by the memorably whiskered Brigadier General Hugh Judson Kilpatrick, bolted south from Stevensburg, Virginia, on a singular sortie aimed at the Confederate capital. “Beyond an ostensible aim of freeing some thirteen thousand Union men held at Libby Prison and on Belle Isle,” author and independent historian Bruce M. Venter writes, “the raiders had a much more sinister objective—the assassination of the Confederacy’s chief executive and members of his cabinet” (xiv-xv). With this book, a recent addition to the University of Oklahoma Press’s “Campaigns & Commanders” series, Venter offers a comprehensive narrative of the Kilpatrick-Dahlgren Raid, making thorough use of some recondite archival sources. Venter situates his account of the Kilpatrick-Dahlgren raid in its larger military context. After an opening chapter that introduces readers to Kilpatrick (“not the solipsist that some modern-day critics like to portray”), the author briefly reviews the significance of Civil War cavalry “raiding,” which became “one of the primary functions” of mounted Union and Confederate soldiers (11, 13).

  • Pond, George E. "Kilpatrick's and Dahlgren's Raid to Richmond." Battles & Leaders, Vol. 4: 95-96 Kilpatrick's
    Pond, George E. "Kilpatrick's and Dahlgren's Raid to Richmond." Battles & Leaders, Vol. 4: 95-96 Kilpatrick's and Dahlgren's Raid to Richmond By George E. Pond On the night of Sunday, the 28th of February, 1864, General Judson Kilpatrick, leaving Stevensburg with four thousand cavalry and a battery of horse artillery, crossed the Rapidan at Ely's Ford, surprised and captured the enemy's picket there, and marched rapidly by Spotsylvania Court House toward Richmond. His object was to move past the enemy's right Bank, enter the Confederate capital, and release the Union captives in its military prisons. This bold project had grown out of President Lincoln's desire to have his amnesty proclamation circulated within the Confederate lines; and General Kilpatrick, with whom Mr. Lincoln directly conferred, had reported to General Meade, on this officer's application, a plan which included the release of the Richmond prisoners and a raid upon the enemy's communications and supplies. His force was to be chosen from the cavalry corps, mostly from his own - the Third - division; and Colonel Ulric Dahlgren, separating from him near Spotsylvania, with five hundred picked men, was to cross the James, enter Richmond on the south side, after liberating the Belle Isle prisoners, and unite with Kilpatrick's main force entering the city from the north at 10 A. M. of Tuesday, March 1st. General Meade aided the enterprise with simultaneous demonstrations of the Sixth Corps and of Birney's division of the Third against Lee's left, and of Custer's cavalry division toward Charlottesville.

There was an immediate outpouring of horrified, indignant rage throughout the South, and after the Union disclaimed any knowledge of the papers or the order they contained, Jefferson Davis authorized the use of terrorism against civilians in the North in the form of guerrilla raids, bank robberies, arson, and sabotage. Duane P. This would be the Confederacy's last chance of survival. Sort order. An outstanding work of popular history. New books! Out of the resulting confusion and cumulative outrage, a decision was made to call in Richmond newspaper editors and furnish copies of the documents for publication the next morning, March 5. Redirected from Kilpatrick—Dahlgren Raid. Besides the enigmatic Dahlgren, the primary actors in this intrigue include Thomas Hines, a year-old classics scholar who organized the terror campaign from Maine to Minnesota, and Elizabeth Van Lew, an aristocratic middle-aged Richmond woman who spied for the Union.

  • Abraham Lincoln Papers
    Abraham Lincoln papers 1 From Abraham Lincoln to Joseph Hooker [Copy in John G. Nicolay's Hand] , June 16, 1863 1 This somewhat placating letter responds to Hooker to Lincoln, June 16, 1863, which was in turn a reply to Lincoln's earlier telegram in which the president suggested that Hooker's movements were too defensive (Collected Works, VI, 280). Hooker's relations with both Lincoln and General Henry Halleck were deteriorating during this period, while the exact nature of Robert E. Lee's troop movements was still unknown. Copy Private Executive Mansion, Washington, June 16, 1863. My dear General: 2 I send you this by the hand of Capt. Dahlgren. Your dispatch of 11.30 A. M. today is just received. When you say I have long been aware that you do not enjoy the confidence of the Major General 3 Commanding, you state the case much too strongly. You do not lack his confidence in any degree to do you any harm. On seeing him, after telegraphing you this morning, I found him more nearly agreeing with you than I was myself. Surely you do not mean to understand, that I am withholding my confidence from you, when I happen to express an opinion, (certainly never discourteously) differing from one of your own. I believe Halleck is dissatisfied with you, to this extent only, that he knows that you write and telegraph, (report, as he calls it,) to me. I think he is wrong to find fault with this; but I do not think he withholds any support from you on account of it.
