  • Confederates Invade Maryland and Kentucky
    Confederates Invade Maryland and Kentucky http://civilwar150.longwood.edu After the victory at Second Bull Run, Robert E. Lee began to set his sights on Union territory. Despite the carnage of the summer of 1862, including the recent battle and earlier battles around Richmond, Lee felt his remaining forces were up to an invasion of the North. He hoped to make it as far as Pennsylvania and with luck to be able to harass Washington, D.C. or Baltimore. Taking the war north of Virginia would open up vast new areas for food and supplies to Lee’s troops. The fields of Virginia were already being rapidly depleted. Lee also hoped that an invasion of the North would turn the tide of Northern public opinion against the war and with fall Congressional elections being held soon, perhaps Abraham Lincoln would be forced to negotiate peace with the Confederates. With many Southern sympathizers, perhaps there might even be an uprising within that state that would quickly lead Lincoln to make a move. Finally, Confederate President Jefferson Davis and his cabinet felt that an aggressive campaign in the North would go a long way toward bringing England or France onto the Southern side of the war. On September 4, the Army of Northern Virginia began to cross into Maryland from Loudon County. Expecting a friendly reception by the locals, some of the men sang “Maryland My Maryland” as they crossed into the border state. While some Maryland residents cheered their arrival, most residents hid in their homes as the troops in gray passed.

  • Into Africa Kirby Smith and Braxton Braggs Invasion of Kentucky
    "INTO AFRICA" : KIRBY SMITH AND BRAXTON BRAGG'S INVASION OF KENTUCKY GARY DONALDSON Braxton Bragg's invasion of Kentucky in the fall of 1862 and Robert E. Lee's invasion of Maryland at the same time are often seen as an effort by Jefferson Davis and the Confederate mili- tary commanders in Richmond to coordinate a two-part invasion of the North. This conclusion is often based on similarities be- tween the two campaigns, the most obvious being that both were conducted at the same time and both ended with generally the same result--inconclusive battles at Perryville and Antietam, followed by Confederate retreats. However, there is little evi- dence that Bragg's invasion was part of any coordinated effort. Bragg's objective was to move against Federal forces in central Tennessee, not Kentucky, with the ultimate goal of liberating Nashville. The plan for what became known as Bragg's invasion of Kentucky was conceived by General Edmund Kirby Smith, a departmental commander in east Tennessee, who brashly ini- tiated the invasion from Knoxville on his own accord with much of Bragg's army and only silent support from Davis. Bragg was forced to follow with the remainder of his army as the principal Union force in the west chased Kirby Smith into Kentucky. It was not the stuff of great military strategy. Kirby Smith rose to the position of commander of the Depart- ment of East Tennessee as a result of Jefferson Davis's reorgan- ization of the Confederate departmental system. Several new departments were created out of this reorganization, and the re- shuffling opened doors for a few young officers.

    Harrison Heritage News Published monthly by Harrison County Historical Society, PO Box 411, Cynthiana, KY 41031 Award of Merit - Publication or Journal, 2007 Kentucky History Awards Program http://harrisoncountyky.us/historical-society May 2015 Vol. 16 No. 4 Letters to Civil War Governors from Harrison County Bill Penn Recently, I was given permission to search the Civil War Governors of Kentucky Digital Documentary database at the Kentucky Historical Society. Although the project is still underway, researchers can examine the data gathered to date. I was able to find many letters to governors from Harrison County concerning petitions, requests for appointments of officers, pardon requests, and other correspondence. Attached are a few interesting letters that actually list, through their signatures, many of the Union supporters in Harrison County. According to the KHS web site, the Civil War Governors of Kentucky project “is a multi-year documentary-editing project dedicated to locating, imaging, transcribing, anno- tating and publishing documents associated with all five of the state’s Civil War governors, including the three Union governors, Beriah Magoffin (1859-62), James F. Robinson (1862-63) and Thomas E. Bramlette (1863-67), and the two provisional Confederate governors, George W. Johnson (1861-62) and Richard Hawes (1862-65).” (Note: the database reference number is shown at the bottom of each letter. A key to the code is available at the project’s web site. Also, the letter transcriptions by KHS staff reflect their attempts to read the writing, and there will be occasional names mis- spelled). This letter was to Governor Robinson written by William W.

    RESOLUTION OF THE [CONFEDERATE] CONGRESS [IN KENTUCKY] 1861 Resolution Of The [Confederate] Congress Un Kentucky] 1861 INTRODUCTION BY Robert Emmett McDowell MULL-WATHEN HISTORIC PRESS LYNDON, KENTUCKY 40222 1970 COPYWRIGHT, NEW MATERIAl 1970 MULL-WATHEN HISTORIC PRESS THIS EDITION LIMITED TO 500 COPIES NO. _____ INTRODUCTION by Robert Emmett McDowell Very little can be said about the Civil War in Kentucky that has not been said many times before in almost every conceivable way. Even minor skirmishes have not escaped extensive descrip­ tions, analyses and interpretations. Consequently, this intro­ duction does not pretend to shed any new light on the subject. Its sole purpose is to give a brief summary of the events leading up to the formation of a futile - almost a farcical - provisional government at Russellville, and the equally futile act of admit­ ting Kentucky into the Confederacy. A concatenation of events which resulted in the original publication of the documents herein reprinted. When the Civil War finally erupted, Kentucky tried to maintain a posture of neutrality - a completely unrealistic response to the tragedy that was tearing apart the nation. There was no middle ground in that clash of principles. Either the United States was one country - "one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all" - or it was a loose federation of small, independent states. The last was basically the position taken by the South, and Kentucky's leaders in declaring for neutrality, had lent their support to the idea of state sovereignty and the Southern cause. Stripped of rhetoric, Kentucky's declaration of neutrality was as much an affirmation of her independence as South Carolina's secession, and it was so viewed by the Federal government in Washington City.

    Book Reviews 285 Face” was Benito Mussolini, but a glossary is required to reveal the meaning of many other terms. These omissions notwithstanding, Skinning Cats is a store- house containing many historical treasures. It would make a useful reference for those interested in the social history of World War 11. University of Central Arkansas, Gregory J. W. Urwin Conway Kentucky’s Governors, 1792-1985. Edited by Lowell H. Harrison. (Lexington: University Press of Kentucky, 1985. Pp. xxi, 217. Suggested readings, index. $22.00.) Lowell H. Harrison should be complimented for editing these fifty-four essays by thirty-two authors who chronicle Kentucky’s history through its chief executives. He provides a sensible pref- ace without grandiose claims, and Thomas D. Clark’s introduc- tion establishes a helpful framework for understanding the governors’ milieux. This collection is aimed at the general reader, but because the work is done largely by professors, more atten- tion is devoted to analyzing policies than to tracing genealogies. Overall, the venture is a welcome contribution, although one of mixed quality and success. Constitutionally limited to one term, Kentucky governors have four years to create a memorable record. Many have failed at this, and their biographers generally do not inflate their at- tempts. Some who distinguished themselves were aided by cir- cumstances beyond their control. Isaac Shelby, for instance, remains notable mainly for being the first governor, William Goebel for his assassination, A. B. “Happy” Chandler for his flamboyance and longevity, and Martha Layne Collins for be- coming the first female chief executive. Others, such as George Johnson and Richard Hawes who were Civil War governors of an unofficial Confederate Kentucky, have virtually disappeared from memory.

  • The Wartime Letters of Tom Krueger. Edited by James B
    284 Indiana Magazine of History to contribute to a larger understanding both of the past and of the means by which society tries to comprehend it. University of Notre Dame, Barbara Allen South Bend, Ind. Skinning Cats: The Wartime Letters of Tom Krueger. Edited by James B. Lane and Stephen G. McShane. (Chicago: Cattails Press, 1985. Pp. 160. Illustrations, notes. Paperbound, $5.95.) In July, 1943, shortly after his graduation from Wirt High School in Gary, Indiana, eighteen-year-old C. Thomas Krueger enlisted in the United States Navy, becoming one of the more than fifteen million men and women to serve in America’s armed forces during World War 11. Taking his basic training at Camp Peary, Virginia, Krueger joined the “Seabees,” a special division of the navy organized to build military bases in combat areas. Following advanced instruction in Virginia and Rhode Island, Krueger was shipped to the Pacific Theater, where he worked on various construction projects in New Guinea and the Philip- pines. During the twenty-eight months he spent away from home, Krueger wrote nearly two hundred letters to his family describ- ing his transformation into a “Seabee” and his experiences over- seas. The young seaman possessed a facile pen and a sense of humor, and his letters were both informative and entertaining. Discovered in 1984 at a demolition site, the Krueger letters were saved from destruction to be published as the first volume in the Calumet Regional Studies Series sponsored by Indiana Univer- sity Northwest.
