After the Battle

After the Battle of Paducah in March 1864, Confederate Maj. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest was reading the newspaper accounts of his raid on Union supplies in the Kentucky riverfront town. They included a disturbing fact.

The newspapers stated that Forrest missed more than 100 fine horses hidden by the Yankees.

Forrest sent soldiers back to Paducah several weeks later.

They captured those horses too.
