SOUTHERNERS ATTACK MORGANTOWN KENTUCKY OCTOBER THIRTY-FIRST 1861 As the month of October, 1861 comes to an end in Kentucky, there has been no major realignment on the part of the Confederates or of the federals. Both armies are awaiting the return of spring. Fighting of a minor nature does break out in Morgantown Kentucky when southerners make a move against a federal position. Confed- erate troops attack a federal encampment with might and decisive determination to push them out of the state. The yankees are un- able to withstand the move and are forced to withdraw from their posts. During their engagements these southerners do encounter moderate losses. They enjoy their accomplishment in harassing the federal forces who've managed to invade their home state.
