Revivals to Revolvers . . . To Die for Commonwealth and Family!

About the Book

Over two thousand men were recruited for this regiment from the counties of Hickman, Fayette, Bullitt, Jefferson, Graves, Franklin, Harrison, Scott, Owen, Bourbon, and Anderson throughout 1861–1865! The Second Kentucky persevered over three years of unbelievable hardship valorously and under constant threat of death! Honoring all Kentuckians past and present! Part of the real life story is given to us through the memoirs and diary of Colonel Roger W. Hanson, commanding the Louisville Legion, Jefferson County, Kentucky. Every attempt has been made to fully represent our regiment in this book, to include a regiment roster of all officers and men who selfishly served their state, their conscience, and the Confederacy!
