Fourth Cavalry III
The next morning at sunrise we again resumed the march, and arrived inside our lines at an early hour in the afternoon, having been completely around the rebel army. Of one thing we were completely satisfied, that General Kilpatrick is entitled to the cognomen which was given him on the Potomac, viz., of ' Kill Cavalry.' But of another thing we are satisfied also, that he is one of the very best cavalry generals in the service. He knows exactly how to handle cavalry, is not afraid to fight, and is always at the front in person, willing to take his own chances with the rest." From September 1st to 11th, 1864,' the regiment remained in camp at Sand-town, distant from Atlanta about 15 miles.
