Forrest Foraged. In September 1862, Gen. N. B. Forrest's CSA cavalry camped for three days on the farm of Union sympathizer, Stephen T. Barnes, near here. The famished men and horses consumed all food, feed and water in sight. Assigned to harass the Union army moving north to the west of here, Forrest's force was part of CSA invasion under Gen. Braxton Bragg ending at Perryville Oct. 8, 1862. Dedicated September 28, 1963. For more information, see ExploreKYHistory: Forrest Foraged
