Civil War Battles, Skirmishes, and Events in Kentucky chronicles the day-to-day-events that impacted all Kentuckians from 1861-66.
Over 65 different battles as well as 300 skirmishes were fought covering all of Kentucky counties. Kentuckians didn't just read about the conflict, they witnessed it every day. They saw men dying from their parlors, their porches and outside their churches. Their homes became hospitals and their front yards where their children played became graveyards.
For five long years, Kentuckians withstood misery, unjust laws and murderous bands of thieves. Yet in spite of it all, they had hope.
This volume is an essential tool for anyone interested in Kentucky or history of the War between the States. As a bonus, a listing of those who gave their last measure of devotion is included.
