Recollections of the battle of Mill Springs and the death of this gallant soldier-efforts to protect his grave. by Bennett H. Young, Colonel C. S. A., (Major-General, United Confederate Veterans, Commanding Kentucky Division.)
Early in January, 1862, Major-General George B. Crittenden, who was then in command of the Confederate forces in East Tennessee, advised General Albert Sidney Johnston that he was then on the north side of the Cumberland river, in Pulaski county, Kentucky; that he was threatened by a superior force of the enemy in front; that it was impossible to cross the river, and that he was compelled to make the fight on the ground he then occupied.
He had under his orders about 4,000 men, consisting of two brigades, the first commanded by General Felix K. Zollicoffer.

Andrew Hunter lived in the county of Jefferson, near Harper's Ferry, and was a relative of General Hunter. A. R. Boteler and E. J. Lee also lived in the same vicinity.
No reasons that I have ever heard have been given for the burning of their houses.
Governor Letcher's property was in Lexington, Va., and the Military Institute was also near Lexington.

[from the New Orleans, La., Picayune, Dec. 27, 1903, and Jan. 24, 1904.] By Captain James Dinkins.
After the surrender of the Southern forces at Fort Donelson, in February, 1862, the Confederates abandoned Kentucky and mobilized at Corinth, Miss.
The troops under General Bragg were also drawn from Pensacola, and such, also, as were at New Orleans.
This combined force, at the suggestion of General Beauregard, was reorganized into three army corps.
The First, commanded by Major-General Polk, 10,000 strong, was made up of two divisions, under Major B. F. Cheatham and Brigadier-General Clarke, respectively, of two brigades each.
The Second, under Major-General Bragg, was arranged in two divisions also, commanded by Brigadier-General Withers and Ruggles, with three brigades each, and numbered about fifteen thousand men.
The Third Corps, commanded by Major-General Hardee, was formed of three brigades not in division, and three brigades u
