This is a biography of an antihero, Samuel Martin writes in his
prologue. Hugh Judson Kilpatrick was one of the most notorious
scoundrels in the Union army. He lied, thieved, and whored his way
through the Civil War, yet managed to attain the stars of a major
general. But despite his faults-or perhaps because of them-he is a
fascinating character. Description from Amazon: Nicknamed
"Kill-Cavalry" because of the unusually high casualty rate among
his men, cavalry commander Hugh Judson Kilpatrick was also the most
notorious scoundrel in the Union army. Kilpatrick lied, thieved,
and whored his way through the Civil War, yet managed to attain the
stars of a major general. But despite his faults-or perhaps because
of them-he is a fascinating character. This exceptionally
well-researched biography (all the more remarkable given that
Kilpatrick's daughter destroyed all her father's papers after his
death) profiles one of the most interesting soldiers to ever wear
Union blue.
