Contents: Kentucky Neutrality Threatened (“I think to lose Kentucky is nearly the same as to lose the whole game” said Abraham Lincoln.

But on October 19, 1863, it would have been better for him and his troopers if they had been a prudent degree more fearful.), War’s Last Battle (Eager to experience battle before the Civil War ended, Colonel Theodore H.
