Camp wild-cat.
The invasion of Kentucky by Zollicoffer from Tennessee, in the early part of the Civil War, aroused the loyalists of eastern Kentucky, and they flew to arms.
Some of them were organized under Colonel Garrard, a loyal Kentuckian, and among the Rock Castle hills they established Camp Wild-cat.
There they were attacked (Oct. 21, 1861), by Zollicoffer.
When he appeared, Garrard had only about 600 men, but was joined by some Indiana and Ohio troops, and some Kentucky cavalry under Colonel Woolford.
With the latter came General Schoepf, who took the chief command.
