Thanks for the continued interest, it provides great motivation to continue with the work. The quote attributed to Major Jordan, 9th Pennylvania Cavalry, was supposedly made at Sparta.

Major Jordan had this to say about the citizens of Tompkinsville:

'The citizens almost to a man were loyal, and I was enabled to obtain information of the movements of the enemy with less difficulty than in almost any other part of Kentucky. Indeed, it was the most loyal community I ever was among in any part of the South."

In the reserach and writing I have progressed to where Morgan has set out from Glasgow to Lebanon.

Best Regards and God's Blessings,
