CONFEDERATE FORCES ATTACK FEDERAL TRAINS ON OCTOBER TWENTIETH 1862 On the 20th of October in 1862 there are a number of Confederate attacks on federal forces who have infiltrated Tennessee. Trains filled with food supplies and armaments were slowly moving in to an area in Kentucky to supply other Northern forces. A long line of eighty one wagons were attacked on their way into Bardstown in Kentucky. The southerners quickly seize them and in a matter of hours were watching them all being destroyed. The Confederate units are subsequently able to seize yet another supply train of wagons several hours later in Bardstown itself.
