- Summary
- This is a biography of an anti-hero ... 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.
