North of here, Morgan's Raiders destroyed two of the most important L & N R.R. trestles on Dec. 28, 1862, rendering the line impassable for two months. Circling this area, they returned to Tenn. on Jan. 2, 1863. In eleven days they destroyed $2,000,000 in U.S. property, wrecked the L & N line from Munfordville to Shepherdsville, and captured, then paroled, 1,877 prisoners.
