This day did not start off well for Gen. Judson Kiilpatrick of the US
Cavalry. He and his men were resting in Monroes Crossroads, North
Carolina, thinking that they were perfectly safe. Instead they were utterly
astonished to be attacked by Wade Hampton and Joe Wheelers 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 days fight handily.
