Richmond Saved by Hampton's Bold Night Attack
A Virginia newspaper defends Wade Hampton and denounces Pollard and McCabe for misrepresenting Kilpatrick and Dahlgren's 1864 raid on Richmond. It recounts Hampton’s mounted and dismounted companies striking Camp Dahlgren near Atlee's Station, causing panic, capturing arms and horses, and delaying the Union plan to burn Richmond. The piece argues Hampton's leadership and a small force thwarted a much larger threat.
