[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

General Washburn was headquartered in the Gayso Hotel; a troop under the command of General Forrest’s little brother William was sent to secure the hotel and search for the general. While most of the men dismounted and approached the hotel on foot, William Forrest burst through the front door and charged upstairs...on horseback.

General Washburn escaped from the hotel in the 1864 version of his underpants. To compound the general’s terror, William Forrest gathered up Washburn’s uniform and took it as a trophy.

You might be thinking of the famous raid at the Fairfax Courthouse where John Singleton Mosby of the 43rd Battalion roused Brigadier General Edwin Stoughton from his slumbers with a swift swat.
