Great photo @ 7:28 of the 2nd KY Calvary. Pvt. W.T. Wasson of this unit, @ 7:07, perished as a prisoner in Camp Douglas, which was located in Chicago, Illinois. Camp Douglas was the Union's largest POW camp and subsequently, had the highest number of deaths of any Northern camp. The mortality rate was up to 23% by 1865. (Prisoner exchanges had ceased by 1863). Most died from overcrowding, lack of food/supplies, disease and the harsh Chicago winters. May they all RIP🙏

When I think of the first week of July 1863 my mind goes to Gettysburg, Vicksburg, and Helena, Arkansas. This was the first I had heard about a fight at Green River Bridge, Kentucky on July 4th where Col. David Chenault was killed. It's always interesting to learn something new.

I learned something new from your post, didn't know about that battle. I live by the same river where The Battle of the Bridge was fought outside of Munfordville. I live in a little town called Bacon Creek, actually Bonnieville. There's a sign by the Bridge over the creek that tells of Morgan's twisting up the RR tracks to impede the Yankee supply lines

What part of Kentucky did these men come from? If I had to guess the south and west. Thanks!

[@Duane-kr2mt]

Probably all over the state, I'm a Kentuckian and my ancestors were from Eastern Kentucky where I'm from but I have connections to North Carolina. General Stacy was my ancestor and he had 2 boys one fought for the union as a corporal and the other the tenth Kentucky as a lieutenant which seemed odd.
