Good afternoon!
Normally when I come across an article I need, I bookmark it to use as a reference. However I failed to do so and need help.
I'm doing research on the 8th Heavy Artillery USCHA. June 18, 1864 a number of them were involved in a skirmish on the Cumberland river.
I happen to come across a paper written about a skirmish around this date. It was written by a county historian about Civil War. Part of this even happen during a full moon night and several of the CSA had family in the area. The Union was a larger group moving in the area.
I tried every tag to bring it back up and got so much in my laptop history, can't recall what date I noticed
Can't recall the county. But if anyone is an expert on Kentucky counties can help me thanks!
