Cutchfield: August 12, 1862 Confederate Colonel John Hunt Mogan and his elite 2nd Kentucky Cavalry sweep into Gallatin and capture the Union garrison there. The raid is part of a devastating three week campaign into Tennessee and Kentucky and prompts President Abraham Lincoln to wire the Union general in command of the region, "They are having a stampede in Kentucky. Please look to it". Found at http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/regiments.cfm (Although the 2nd had victories in 1862, all the men in this unit had been captured by the Union by July of 1863.) 2nd (Morgan's) Cavalry Regiment was organized during the summer of 1862 using Morgan's Kentucky Cavalry Squadron as its nucleus. The unit contained men from Kentucky, Texas, Mississippi, and Alabama. It served in Morgan's Brigade and was active in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Ohio. Many were captured in the conflict at Buffington Island on July 19 and the remaining part at New Lisbon on July 26, 1863. The regiment was not reorganized. Its field officers were Colonels Basil W. Duke and John H. Morgan, Lieutenant Colonels James W. Bowles and John B. Hutcheson, and Majors G.W. Morgan and T.B. Webber.
