In late february of 1864, General Hugh Judson Kilpatrick led a cavalry force of 4,000 troops into Virginia in an effort to destroy as much track of the Virginia Central Railroad. Under his command was Colonel Ulric Dahlgren who led a group of soldiers to make a raid on Richmond Virginia. Reportedly, not only was Dahlgren set on raiding Richmond, but according to the Confederates, documents found on the body of Dalgren, killed in action, he was to try to assassinate President Jefferson Davis. and members of his cabinet. The entire raid was unproductive due to the response of Confederate cavalry forces. The extra publicity surrounding this event was that Ulric Dahlgren was the son of an US admiral. The assassination "documents" were dismissed by General Meade, General Kilpatrick and President Lincoln.
