Thursday, March 9 1865

This day did not start off well for Gen. Judson Kiilpatrick of the US 
Cavalry. He and his men were resting in Monroe’s Crossroads, North 
Carolina, thinking that they were perfectly safe. Instead they were utterly 
astonished to be attacked by Wade Hampton and Joe Wheeler’s combined 
cavalry. Kilpatrick was obliged to flee, without even his trousers 
according to some accounts. Kilpatrick made much in his official report of 
the fact that his regimental flag was not taken during the attack. He was 
not quite so specific as to how it was saved--the lady with whom he had 
been sharing the bed concealed it under her nightgown. When the Federals 
rallied, got themselves organized, and got “Kill-Cavalry” some pants, they 
won the day’s fight handily.
