Re: whipperville creek or bridge in dec

You are so knowledgeable on different battles at these bridges. It's wonderful. Maybe YOU are the person that I've been looking for to help me for the last 40 years!! My Gr-Grandfather was William Jasper Burd and was supposed to have served with the Home Guards in and around Horse Cave. He supposedly derailed a train but escaped and hid in someone's haymow. People chasing him were jabbing pitchforks in the hay but he eluded them. I could get you a quote from a book about Wm Techumsee(sp?) Sherman regarding this derailment. I have looked for years for something about this derailment. I was in Munfordville a few years ago and no one seemed to know about any bridges being destroyed except maybe what happened at Bacon Creek. It was my understanding that the Home Guards which my Gr-Grandfather served with were Union but that he was a "spy" for the south. He could not hold a gun as he had fell into a fireplace when he was seven years and burned his gun hand. Does any of this sound familar? Did you ever write the book that you mentioned?
