On May 13, he was severely wounded in the thigh at the Battle of Resaca. And his injuries kept him out of the field until late July. He had considerable success raiding behind Confederate lines, tearing up railroads, and at one point rode his division completely around the enemy positions in Atlanta. Kilpatrick continued with Sherman through his March to the Sea. And north in the Carolinas Campaign.

He delighted in destroying Southern property. On two occasions his coarse personal instincts betrayed him: Confederate cavalry under the command of Maj.

Raided his camp while he was in bed with a young Southern woman he had met while going through Columbia. And, at the Battle of Monroe's Crossroads.
