Professor Shaler had noted the fact that Kentucky was peopled more directly by persons of pure English bloodnfederate armies were well nigh gone, and they were fighting amid the darkness of despair.

men of the toughest and finest fiber can endure; yet this force owed its peculiar excellence as much to the qualities of the men and the subordinate officers as to the distinguished leader. Such a list of superior subordinate commanders as Basil Duke, Hynes, D. Howard Smith, Grigsby, Cluke, Alston, Steele, Gano, Castleman, Chenault, Brent, and others, was perhaps found in no other brigade of Kentucky cavalry.
