Account by Gilbert L. McMurphy, Co. "H", Terry's 8th Texas Cavalry.

We were driven by the enemy from Mt Washington and from there to Bardstown at which place 4 Regiments of cavalry attempted to cut us off. (they had a battery, and about a brigade of Infantry, but beyond supporting distance) and met as they justly deserved a very severe chastizement, We took 40 prisoners besides killing & wounding about that same number. our loss 1 man wounded. From thence we go to Stanford where the enemy did some of the best shooting with cannon I have ever seen, every shot fell among us....
