Jim MartinBattle of Monroe's Crossroads - March 10, 1865Tue Sep 12 19:03:22 2000 This is a "hard to find" site, so I thought I'd post it here.Cavalry Clash in the Sandhills The Battle of Monroe's Crossroads, North Carolina, 10 March 1865*The battle at Monroe's Crossroads, fought on March 10, 1865, was one of the largest all-cavalry engagements of the American Civil War. Though not a major battle in terms of its effect on the outcome of the war, it is of interest to historians for the role it played in General William T. Sherman's march through the Carolinas.This file is in an Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format,so you'll need the Acrobat Reader to view it.
