[Stonewall Jackson]

Morgan's brother-in-law, Basil Duke, was on a scouting mission in the E-town area when he was spotted and recognized by Union troops. He knew that since he was in civilian clothing he could be hanged as a spy. As he ran down the railroad tracks, a local sympathizer delayed his pursuers long enough for Duke to get away.

As an interesting aside, Benjamin Helm, the Confederate general from E-Town who was killed at Chickamauga, was married to Mary Todd Lincoln's half-sister. When Lincoln learned of this, he went into mourning.

They talk about the Civil War being "brother against brother" and KY really exemplified that - I think more than many other states. I think Mary Todd had several siblings that fought for the Confederacy while she was the First Lady for the Union.
