Judson Kilpatrick Runs into a Trap. Sherman's Famous Calvary
Leader Escapes from Greenspring Monroe's in his Nightshirt
Addttts Corntpmdence to

Looking back at it now, it seems
almost like a legend, or a part of some
Homeric tale, drifted down on the lyres
of wandering minstrels from the mists of
time. Coming with tennis racquets and
creamy flannels into the warmth of a
welcome that is no less pervasive than
the sunshine the Boston and New York
traveler can scarcely believe that the old
fellows he meets on the" roadside, and
that pilot him over their own cover crops
to locate the coveys of quail, are the self
same Johnnies that welcomed the last
great immigration of his kinsmen with
grape and cannister. It is incredible
that the self same lazy landscape over
which Charlie Williams whoops his
hounds was the identical scene of the
last stand of these patriarchs, then com
prizing poor old Dixies bottom dollar; or
that the country of Drowning Creek and
the Little Eiver, flanking the golf courses
( f Pinehurst heard the echo of invading
bugles, and the roar of battle within the
memory of Jiving men.
Drawn by the spell of the all but for
gotten memories of this drama, Clyde
Davis and I set out to follow the track
of. that dashing and dangerous horseman,
Judson Kilpatrick, commander of calvary
in the United States Army, and forager
and flanker and , eyes . and ears of the
late William Tecumseh Sherman,, leader
of men. To us he and his troopers in the
faded army blue, with their short car
bines and their jangling sabres belonged
among those dim and heroic figures which)'
led by Hannibal and Napoleon, predomi
nate the strange and fascinating fairy
stories of incredible journeys and ex
ploits which make up history. But to the
old riflemen that we found in the cabins
and homesteads of the venerable Scotch
settlement, remnants of the followers of
Ole Marse Eobert, Kilpatrick and his
Yankee squadrons were among the com
monplaces of existence, and their coming
and going hardly regarded as worthy of
comment.
We have already recorded in these
papers the story of Kilpatrick 's first ap
pearance in the Sandhills, how he entered
the plateau of Flora Macdonald by the
historic gateway of invasion, crossing the
Lumbee river below Derby's plantation
at Markham's Bridge, while his out
riders thundered over the old covered
structure that spans Drowning Creek just
below Jackson- Springs, and made hot
foot straight down the old Morgantown
road through the picnic grove now be
longing to Parker Whittemore and Eobert
Hunter, right over tlie site of the Pine
hurst dairy, and so on to the Cross Eoads,
since known as Southern Pines. Alex
ander McLeod has told how he spent
the night at the McLeod place, while
Alex spent his night in the swamp, and
the McLeod girls who are still there in
the self same spot,- refused to cook his
dinner.
FIGHTING JOE WHEELER
This was on the 9th of March, 1865.
And at the very moment that this Yankee
brigadier was sounding boots and saddles
there near Pine Bluff, General Joe
Wheeler, in command of Confederate
Light horse in other words of a band of
children from this neighborhood and
other Southern resorts, the same that
later led at San Juan, was eating break
fast, as casually as you please and prais
ing Lis hostess' sweet potato coffee right
here at Southern Pines, in the Shaw
house, that same old mansion whose vine
covered portals make such a charming
picture for the passengers in the bus that
runs daily to the Highland Pines Hotel
from the Pinehurst store.
Here was a situation that promised
some immediate developments. Neither
of these gentlemen were famous for their
caution. And it was an affectation of
both to consider the other an entirely
negligible quantity.
kilpatrick's frolic
Hence it was that when Kilpatrick had
eaten his dinner at the Buchan planta
tion, now a part of Jim Boyd's Wey
mouth Estate, he decided to take his own
personal caravan and retinue to Green
spring Monroe's. The reasons for this
were obvious. Greenspring was reputed
to have the only thoroughly comfortable
quarters left in that neck of the woods.
Moreover he ran a farm still providing
an abundant provinder for a troop of
Cavalry, and a chicken dinner good
enough for any field marshal. General
Kilpatrick belonged to that happy Celtic
race that loves and combines its fights
and its frolics. Wheeler or no Wheeler,
he and his staff were off for a night at
Greenspring Monroes. The daring in this
decision lay in the fact that this haven
lay several miles beyond the direct line
of march and the route taken by the
majority of his command. And that to
his right, making by all the roads there
were towards Fayetteville, lay the whole
of the famous army that marched to the
sea depending upon this intrepid Irish
man to protect the encircling fires.
THE OLD PLANTATION
But the call of the plantation pre
vailed. That night at dusk the sleepy
old Southern hamlet was aroused by the
inrushing troop and was in short order
made comfortable for the general and his
staff, while the picked squadron of the
army bivouaced in the orchard and down
by the stream below the barns. Here,
we are told by the old people who were
left in the section at the time, the
tedium of the march was forgotten, and
the logs were piled high, and toasts were
drunk to all that beauty, all that wealth
'ere gave. To look at the bending
rafters of the indestructible but long
since deserted shanty, it is almost im-
