Dear Subscribers to the Greenup and Lewis Counties, Kentucky Mailing Lists, This is Posting Number Five from ~Under the Flag of the Nation: Diaries and Letters of a Yankee Volunteer in the Civil War~. The passage quoted today is on pages 46 and 47 and is the second half of the description of the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou, Mississippi. "De Courcey's brigade was next, but the boys pressed forward so vigorously in the daring onset that it was difficult to tell who was in the advance. Onward we swept through flame and smoke and blood, leaving the dead and dying behind us, climbing, crawling, fighting our way up the slope with the desperation of men resolved to conquer or die. Our thinned ranks, breathless, bleeding, reached the center of the enemy's works. Here, we were assailed by an awful fire from outnumbering foes nearly surrounding us. Bravely we had won our position, but it was found impossible to hold it. One third of our attacking party was placed "hors de combat". We had taken both first and second lines of the rebel entrenchments, and yet we found but defeat in victory. Such a destructive storm of shot and shell was poured in upon us that we were compelled precipitously to retire. With saddened hearts, we yielded to the cruel necessity. Such was the battle of Chickasaw Bluffs. It was a brave but desperate conflict [This was the first and worst defeat the Forty-second Regiment, OVI, ever suffered.]. We accomplished all that mortal valor could achieve. Those frowning heights could not be carried by charging them in face of all their batteries with but half the army commissioned for the enterprise. We now withdrew to a point out of range of the Rebel field artillery, though their heavier guns shelled our position incessantly. At sunset, under a flag of truce, the two armies gathered their dead and wounded. This is the saddest duty devolving upon a soldier. The shrieks of the wounded, the groans of the dying, appeal to the sympathies of the most hardened nature, and our hearts grow heavy as we bury side by side our late comrades in arms. Glorious though the day may have been, this sad rite dispels every feeling of joy, when we remember how many mothers are made childless, how many children left without fathers, by the slaughter of the battlefield. Our loss was 580 killed, 1400 wounded and 550 missing [The Brigade, composed of the Sixteenth and Forty-second OVI and Twenty-second Kentucky Regiments, lost 1300 men.]. (I am a little confused on these figures.) The loss of the enemy could not be ascertained, though it could not have been as heavy as ours, as they fought under cover of their entrenchments." Sincerely, Randal W. Cooper P.S. My third-great grandfather William Cooper of Company "E", Twenty-second Kentucky, was wounded in this battle, taking a Rebel mini-ball in the forehead, an inch above his right eye. He was transferred to the Invalid Corps and was never able to return to full duty. My "Family Lore" adds that Private Cooper refused to allow anyone to operate on him. Thus, the bullet remained lodged in his body for the remainder of his long life. William Cooper died November 23, 1903.

Dear Subscribers to the Lewis County, Kentucky Mailing List, This is Posting Number Four from ~Under the Flag of the Nation: Diaries and Letters of a Yankee Volunteer in the Civil War~. The passage quoted today is on page 45 and is the description of the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou, Mississippi. This battle is also called Chickasaw Bluffs. The battle was a defeat for the Union Army, but in time, Vicksburg did fall to the Federals. A sizable number of men from Greenup and Lewis Counties, Kentucky participated in this battle, with many killed and wounded. The text in parentheses is mine. It will take two postings to cover this battle. "On the 20th of December, 1862, our Regiment (the Forty-second Ohio), with the force under General Sherman (which included the Twenty-second Kentucky), set sail from Memphis. The army, consisting of about 15,000 men, with several gunboats, arrived at the mouth of the Yazoo River, just above Vicksburg, on Saturday morning, the 29th (this must be an error). A line of high bluffs here fringe the eastern shores of the Yazoo and the Mississippi. This bluff on the Yazoo is at ashort distance from the river, and the intervening space consists of a low and marshy bottom often overflowed by the swelling of the stream, and at all other times intersected by sluggish bayous. The chain of bluffs frowned with batteries on summit and sides, and with rifle pits near the base. The plan of attack was for General Sherman to assail these works in front, while General Grant, advancing by way of Jackson, was to charge them in the rear. But by the inconceivable idiocy of a subordinate at Holly Springs, a raiding party of Rebels had fallen upon our magazines of supplies there and had destroyed two milions' worth in a few hours. Grant was thus delayed. On the very day of the disembarking of our forces, we pushed across the marshy river bottom to near the edge of the bluffs, driving the enemy into their works. The next morning, the engagement was opened up with an impetuous fire of artillery, and then with an infantry charge upon the first line of Rebel rifle pits. The enterprise was crowned with success, and as we swarmed into the captured works, the Rebels fled to their second line of defense. In the meantime, the enemy had concentrated a heavy force within their ramparts, while but one half of our army designed for the attack was in the field. Sunday and Monday were spent by both armies in preparation for the decisive conflict, while each endeavored to annoy the other by occasional artillery firing. Having thrown several bridges across the bayous, General Sherman ordered a general assault at two o'clock Monday afternoon. At the appointed hour, the storm burst in all its fury. The hill belched forth flame and smoke, with trembling of the earth under the cannons' roar, as though a hundred volcanoes were in violent eruption. We were compelled in the charge to wade the bayous and struggle through the swamps covered with fallen timbers and traversed with abitis (felled trees with the branches pointing toward the invaders). General Blair's horse became hopelessly mired, and he slid from his back and led his brigade on foot." To be Continued! Sincerely, Randal W. Cooper

Dear Subscribers to the Greenup and Lewis Counties, Kentucky Mailing Lists, This is Posting Number Three from ~Under the Flag of the Nation: Diaries and Letters of a Yankee Volunteer in the Civil War~. On page 89 is the following passage (see below). The year was 1863. The place was Plaquemine, Iberville Parish, Louisiana, on the west bank of the Mississippi, about fifteen miles south of Baton Rouge. The Twenty-second Regiment of Kentucky Volunteer Infantry was one of the Regiments stationed there. "Packets plied up and down the river, carrying passengers, cargo, and letters and newsppaers from the North and South. The camp- dubbed "Spiegelville" after Colonel Spiegel, commander of the 120th Ohio- even published a weekly, single-sheet newspaper entitled 'Picket Post', which was a most informative and entertaining dispensary of gossip, rumor, quips, anecdotes, and news, with occasional articles and verse. Local merchants and army sutlers proclaimed their wares in it. Costing only five cents, it was a major contribution to life in the barracks. The issue of December 24 (1863), for example, ran the first installment of a "History of the 22nd Kentucky from Its Organization up to the Present Time"..." How wonderful it would be to find a copy of that newspaper's full description of the Twenty-second! One can only wonder if any copies of the 'Picket Post' have escaped the ravages of time and are preserved in some library or museum! The passage above was quoted from F.H. Mason in his history of the Forty-second Regiment of Ohio Volunteer Infantry, which was included in ~Under the Flag of the Nation~. Sincerely, Randal W. Cooper

Dear Members of the Greenup and Lewis Counties, Kentucky Discussion Groups, This is Posting Number Two from ~Under the Flag of the Nation: Diaries and Letters of a Yankee Volunteer in the Civil War~. The references to the Twenty-second Kentucky that I find in said book will be posted on the Greenup and Lewis County Lists, but not in chronological order. I apologize for that, but it is the quickest way for me to ge the information to you. I will have to leave it up to the reader to put the diary entries in chronological order. Wednesday, April 27, 1864: "All quiet in Baton Rouge. The Twenty-second Kentucky Volunteers left today for Alexandria." >From this entry in the diary of Owen J. Hopkins of Company "K" of the Forty-second Ohio, who was a Sergeant by this time, we see that the Twenty-second Regiment of Kentucky Volunteer Infantry was stationed at Baton Rouge, Louisiana on April 27, 1864 and that on that day, said regiment headed for Alexandria, Louisiana. Alexandria is about 120 miles northwest of Baton Rouge. I do not know why the Twenty-second was transferred from Baton Rouge to Alexandria, nor what the regiment was engaged in doing at those locations. Such details will have to wait until more research reveals them. Sincerely, Randal W. Cooper

Dear Subscribers to the Greenup County, Kentucky and the Lewis County, Kentucky Mailing Lists, Union soldiers from Greenup and Lewis Counties, Kentucky (and several other counties) made up the roster of the Twenty-second Regiment of Kentucky Volunteer Infantry. Company "E" was composed almost entirely of Lewis County men. My third-great grandfather William Cooper was a member of Company "E". I have found a book which mentions the Twenty-second Kentucky, as well as the Fourteenth Kentucky. The book is entitled ~Under the Flag of the Nation: Diaries and Letters of a Yankee Volunteer in the Civil War~, edited by Otto F. Bond, printed in 1961 by the Ohio State University Press, Columbus, Ohio, for the Ohio Historical Society. The Dewey Decimal Number is 973.781 Ho. Owen Johnston Hopkins was the diarist and a member of the Forty-second Regiment of Ohio Volunteer Infantry, which was led by Colonel James A. Garfield. Colonel Garfield went on to become President of the United States. The Forty-second Ohio took part in many of the campaigns and battles that the Twenty-second and Fourteenth Kentucky were involved in. The Cumberland Campaign and the Mississippi Campaign were the main ones. The description of the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou/Chickasaw Bluffs, Mississippi, December 29, 1862 is especially good. Captain Alexander Bruce, Company "E", Twenty-second Kentucky, was wounded in this battle, as were quite a few Lewis and Greenup County men. I will post the references to Greenup County and the Twenty-second Regiment as I find them, because I am confident that the information will be of interest and value to the List Subscribers. The first mention of the Twenty-second Regiment of Kentucky Volunteer Infantry was in Private Hopkins's entry in February of 1862. On February 12 or 22, 1862, the Forty-second Ohio, brigaded with the Fortieth Ohio and the Fourteenth Kentucky, "embarked for Piketon, Kentucky [from Paintsville], higher up the Big Sandy and thirty miles from Pound Gap, where Humphrey Marshall had taken refuge after his thrashing at Prestonburgh. Arriving at this town [Piketon], we found a dilapidated row of houses on the bank of the river, which ran through a deep gorge formed by high precipitous hills on either side. Going into camp, we were joined by the Twenty-second Kentucky Volunteer Infantry and now numbered some 3,000 men, half of which force would have been sufficient to scare Humphrey Marshall out of his wits". Sincerely, Randal W. Cooper

Hello, fellow listers! I'm hoping someone can give me some help with locations of and directions to the following cemeteries in Lewis County: Mt. Tabor Methodist Church, Vnaceburg, KY Aills Cemetery, Vanceburg, KY Kissick Cemetery, Quicks Run Road, Lewis Co., KY....don't know what town this one is in. Pell Cemetery, Lewis Co., KY....I have no idea where this cemetery is but it's definitely one I would be interested in getting to since my maiden name was Pell and I have ancestors buried there. I'll be coming from Northern Kentucky to these cemeteries. Also, if there is anyone who has ancestors buried in these cemeteries and would like pictures taken, I'll be glad to do it. I have a digital camera and can send the pictures via email. Contact me off the list so as not to tie it up with the names, dates, and cemetery name. I'm hoping to make this trip to Lewis County in the next couple of weeks. Thanks in advance for any help with locations and directions!! Claudia Pell-Salvatore in Northern Kentukcy

Hi, everyone. I am new to the list. I have SPARKS ancestors buried in McEldowney Cemetery. Can anyone tell me about this cemetery? Is it large? What is it's condition?

Fellow Lewis Co. researchers, There is a photo for auction on eBay of a stage coach at Glen Springs in Lewis Co., KY. This is the same photo that was used as a mural on the Portsmouth, OH flood wall. Just do a search for Glen Springs. The photo is in very good condition. I am not selling the photo, but saw it on eBay. Bruce Bruce E.
