Kill Jeff Davis: The Union Raid on Richmond 1864

The ostensible goal of the controversial Kilpatrick-Dahlgren Raid on Richmond (February 28 - March 3, 1864) was to free some 13,000 Union prisoners of war held in the Confederate capital. But orders found on the dead body of the raid's subordinate commander, Colonel Ulric Dahlgren, point instead to a plot to capture or kill Confederate president Jefferson Davis and set Richmond ablaze. What really happened, and how and why, are debated to this day and the book offers a fresh look at the failed raid and mines newly discovered documents and little-known sources to provide definitive answers. Includes 15 black-and-white illustrations and seven maps. $30.00 USD
