The Daily Dispatch: December 23, 1861., [Electronic resource], The first Kentucky regiment. (search)
a few days since, in your valuable paper, from a member of the 1st Virginia regiment. Having a leisure hour I have concluded to write you an "epistolary production," in reference to the 1st Kentucky regiment, to which your correspondent belongs. This regiment has suffered many hardships in the last eight months. Six of the ten companies under the command of Col. Duncan were among the first Confederate troops (if not the first) that rushed to the assistance of Virginia. We were sent to Harper's Ferry, and stationed upon the Maryland Heights, which was then considered the post of honor, exposed to all kind of inclement weather, performing the heaviest guard duty in the army, guarding every pass, night and day, without a murmur. We fell back with Johnston to Winchester, and was with him in his marches to and from Darksville. Here Col. Duncan resigned the command of the battalion, and we were placed temporarily under the command of Captain Claiborne, an old officer of the U. S. A.
