William F. Fox, Lt. Col. U. S. V., Regimental Losses in the American Civil War, 1861-1865: A Treatise on the extent and nature of the mortuary losses in the Union regiments, with full and exhaustive statistics compiled from the official records on file in the state military bureaus and at Washington

Among the general officers appointed from Kentucky were: Generals Anderson (of Fort Sumter fame), Rousseau, Thos. J. Wood, Crittenden, Johnson, Ward, Whitaker, Jackson (killed at Chaplin Hills), Fry, Burbridge, T. T. Garrard, Croxton, Long, Sanders (killed at Knoxville), Watkins, Shackleford, Nelson, Green Clay Smith, Hobson and others.

That the Kentucky regiments did their share of the fighting is well attested by the heroic figures opposite their names in the casualty lists of the Western armies.
