This regiment was organized with volunteers from Garrard,
Casey and adjoining counties, and the men went into Camp Dick
Robinson immediately after the August election in 1861. The
first movement of the regiment was in August, when several
companies under command of Lieut.-Col. John W. Letcher, went
to Lexington to protect the passage of arms through that
place. They guarded the wagons to Nicholasville, and on to
Camp Dick Robinson. Other duty of similar character was also
performed.
