On Aug. 7, 1864, Capt. Hiett, with 35 men detailed from Cos. B
and C, was attacked at Salem, Ky., by 300 Confederates and
guerrillas, and suffered a loss of 2 killed and 3 wounded,
including himself. On Aug. 31 Col. Burge, with a scout of 20
men, came upon a camp of 60 guerrillas in Union County,
captured the camp with a large amount of stores, killed 1 and
captured 7 prisoners without loss. This is Capt. Hugh McCracken Hiett my ggggrandfather, anyone with any info or a pic would be great. Please email me at rickhyatt1963@yahoo.com and give me any kind of info. Thanks so much.
