Cav. fought against the Confederate Kentucky Cavalry, led by famous Gen. John Morgan, at Horseshoe Bend and elsewhere.  The 12th pursued Morgan's Raiders through 3 states, and he eventually surrendered to a group including elements of the 12th.  Of particular interest is the fact that some Bullitts served in Morgan's CSA Kentucky Cavalry.  One can speculate that Capt. Bullitt may have found himself fighting against his relatives in 1863. - A great Civil War piece. - antq - (estimate  to 1000) - [skt-297]

Matthew Mullins of the 40th Kentucky Mounted Infantry, and internet research.  Born 8/26/1827 in Pendleton Co., KY, where he also died on 4/2/1903. - It appears his Civil War service began in 1861 as Captain of the Police Guard of the Ky State Militia, after which he was instrumental in raising the 18th Reg. Ky Infantry, serving therein as a Colonel.  Wounded in the leg in Richmond Ky.  Served as Lt. Col. in the 40th Ky Mtd. Inf., and complimented by his commander for his conduct in routing CSA Gen. John Morgan's Raiders at Cynthiana on 6/12/1864. - Included in his military record is a photocopy of a hand transcription of Telegraph to Gen'l Boyle from Brig. Genl S.S. Fry with the intriguing message - s/n  “I received a Dispatch from Col. True last night stating that Lt. Col. Mullins had nothing to do with the outrages committed by the men of his regiment at Carlisle.” The telegram appears to be dated Nov. 12, 1863.  It's unknown whether it's relevant, but a skirmish at Carlisle PA occurred July 1, 1863. - The town had been overtaken by CSA forces a few days before, and was retaken by Union militia forces. - Gen. JEB Stuart's forces arrived and demanded surrender of the town, followed by shelling.  Learning that the engagement at Gettysburg had begun, Stuart withdrew after torching Carlisle Barracks.  One source speculates that Stuart's delay at Carlisle may have contributed to the Confederate loss at Gettysburg. - What “outrages” may have been perpetrated there by Union forces remains unanswered at this time. - s/n 23612, ca. 1864 - antq - (estimate 3500 to 7000) - []
