Morgan's Second Raid. CSA Gen. John H. Morgan ordered Col. D. W. Chenault's regiment to burn the railroad trestle here, Dec. 29, 1862. This and destruction of two trestles at Muldraugh's Hill, the previous day, put L&N railroad, the main USA supply line, out of use for critical period. On 14-day Kentucky raid, Morgan destroyed $2,000,000 U.S. property, captured 1,877 USA troops. See map.
