	[58.0] February 1864 (2): That Means You, Mr. Benjamin
		Kilpatrick was obnoxious to those who did not find him simply silly, but like many people with a big head of steam he did have the virtues of being energetic, aggressive, and bold.
		Kilpatrick believed that the defenses of Richmond were poorly manned, with most of the troops in the front lines with Lee's Army of Northern Virginia.
		While Kilpatrick and the bulk of his cavalry distracted the Confederates, Dahlgren was to cross over the James, loop around south of Richmond with 500 troopers, and dash into the city to free the 15,000 Union prisoners in the main prison camp at Belle Isle.

		Hugh Judson Kilpatrick's poorly planned and badly executed raid on Richmond, Va., in the winter of 1864 would barely rate a footnote in anyone's history of the Civil War.
		Kilpatrick was to strike at the northern approaches while Dahlgren freed the prisoners.
		Kilpatrick said he had read Dahlgren's proposed address to his men and marked it in red ink as "approved." It read just as the newspapers had printed it–except it was missing his endorsement and the sentence exhorting the prisoners to burn Richmond and kill the Confederate leaders.
