Fifty-second Kentucky Infantry.
The act of Congress authorizing the governor of Ken- tucky to raise and organize a volunteer force for the de- fense of Kentucky, not exceeding 20,000, is mentioned in the account of the 30th Ky. Mounted Infantry. The con- dition of Kentucky, which made this necessary, is also mentioned. The service of the regiments raised under that call shows to what extent they were needed. The situation of Kentucky was such as to make it not only essential to be held by the Federal forces, but also a field for invasion by the other side. Morgan and Forrest and Wheeler, not to speak of lesser Confederate cavalry lead- ers, directed their efforts to the raiding of Kentucky. There were also local bands known as guerrillas, which gave great trouble. They sought to injure all United States property and railroads and bridges used by the Federal forces, and in every way impair the efficiency of those forces.
To protect the state there were promptly organized, under the act of Congress mentioned, eleven full regi- ments, and they all rendered most important and valu- able service. One of these regiments was the 52d Mounted Infantry. The following is taken from the adjutant-gen- eral's report :
The 52d Ky. Mounted Infantry was organized under the authority of an act of congress, dated February 7, 1863, authorizing the governor to raise twenty thousand troops for the better defense of Kentucky. Companies A, B, C, and E, were mustered in at Scottsville, Ky., October 16, 1863, and Company D on the 17th of October. Company F was mustered in November 12, 1863, and Company G, December 21, 1863, at Franklin, Ky. Companies H, I and K, were mustered in March 3, 1864, at Franklin, Ky.
This regiment was raised for twelve months' service, and under pro- visions of the act were to be employed in repelling invasions, suppress- ing insurrection, and guarding and protecting the public property. For the purpose of enabling it to cope more readily with the guerrillas that infested the state it was mounted, and stationed in the lower and central portion of the state, and rendered efficient aid to the government in protecting its line of communication with the army at the front. Being raised in a section of the country where the life of a Union man was constantly in jeopardy from the heartless guerrillas, many of the members of this organization had private grievances to correct that may have led them to commit excesses upon those recreant Kentucklans

who fostered the guerrillas and pointed out the homes of Unionists for destruction. Still their services were efficient and appreciated by the government they had sworn to defend.
In the many fights and skirmishes in which it engaged, the bearing of both officers and men sustained the gallant record so bravely won by all Kentucky troops during the rebellion.
The following additional is obtained from the official reports:
In the spring of 1864, Gen. Sherman was gathering his army at Chat- tanooga for the Atlanta compaign. The work of the Confederate cavalry was very active in his rear upon his line of supplies. If the rail- road from Louisville to Nashville and thence to Chattanooga could be crippled it would materially injure Sherman. So also if a great number of troops could be kept employed along this line, all so occupied would be prevented from uniting with Sherman at the front. It is natural, therefore, to find that in March, 1864, Forrest was in Kentucky moving from the west. On that account March 23d, the 52nd was ordered by Gen. Hobson, in whose division it then was, to move from Scottsville to Bowling Green, to concentrate a force there. The damage being averted in that section it was ordered to the eastern part of the state to assist in opposing the entrance of Morgan. April 19th it proceeded to Irvine, Ky .; April 30th, in the organization of the Department of the Ohio, the 52nd was in Col. Chas. S. Hansom's brigade, in Hobson's division. June 6th Col. Grider was sent with part of the 52d and part of the 37th to Pound Gap to obstruct the passes. Another portion of the regiment fought Morgan at Mt. Sterling, June 10th and at Cynthiana, June 12th, with other troops to the entire discomfiture of Morgan's command. Immediately afterward, the Federal forces, so engaged, in- cluding the 52d, pursued the enemy as far as the Cumberland river, moving a distance of four hundred and seventy miles in eleven days. In the fighting at Mt. Sterling Col. Hansom compliments especially Maj. Tyler of the 52d; at this place Capt. Lewis Buckner was wounded and taken prisoner, but made his escape and continued with his regiment.
In July the 52d had returned from the eastern part of Kentucky and was in the western part July 18th. Lieut. Col. S. F. Johnson reports from Hopkinsville that he had been through Webster and Union counties, and had fought with Sypert's band of three hundred at Gei- ger's lake and scattered it, killing and wounding over thirty.
In August the regiment was ordered to Uniontown to operate against Adam Johnson, who was in that part of the state. August 21st a portion of the 52d was in Hop- kinsville, and, in a successful fight there with two hun- dred men under Col. Woodward, that officer was killed. August 26th the 52d was ordered to Lexington. August 27th the following dispatch was sent from Bowling Green, which illustrates the condition of Kentucky in the sum- mer of 1864.
----
Woodward's and (Adam) Johnson's men are scattered over Southern Kentucky and the 52d Ky. in pursuit. Lieut. Col. (Sam) Johnson is re- enlisting his regiment and recruiting rapidly. If the regiment is with- drawn Southern Kentucky is ruined and the re-enlistment is defeated. We will have twelve companies soon if allowed to remain.

August 30th the 52d was ordered to Bowling Green. It was then in Col. Cicero Maxwell's brigade. It pro- ceeded into Tennessee through Nashville. October 1st it was at Tullahoma, in the command of Gen. Rousseau, operating against Forrest and Wheeler. In October it proceeded to Athens and Huntsville, Ala. It returned and served with the cavalry of Gen. Thomas about Nash- ville. December 5th it was again at Bowling Green and went into Western Kentucky to aid in resisting the invas- ion of the Confederates under Gen. Lyon.
After the destruction of Gen. Hood's army at Nash- ville, in December, 1864, the 52d was not so actively en- gaged and was mustered out of service in January and March, 1865, having made a splendid record as a useful and gallant regiment.

Fifty-thira Kentucky Mounted Infantry.
This regiment was organized in the fall of 1864, at Paris, Ky. The men belonged to that section of the state. Clinton J. True was the colonel and W. C. Johnson, lieu- tenant-colonel. In 1861 Col. True was a captain in the 20th Ky. Infantry. In June, 1863, he left the 20th to be- come colonel of the 40th Ky. Infantry, being organized at that time for twelve months' service. Then, in the summer of 1864, upon the expiration of the term of the 40th, Col. True entered upon the work of raising another regiment for the service. In the official report of Col. Simpson, chief engineer in charge of the defensive struct- ures at various points in Kentucky, of date October 13. 1864, he says: "Speaking of the defenses along the line of the Kentucky Central railroad, he is pleased to learn that the 53d Ky. Infantry is to take the places of some other
