Kentucky State Memorial

Kentucky honored her sons who fought and fell on this field, remembering both the Confederate and Union organizations from the state that were engaged here. The Confederate organizations from Kentucky were the Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Ninth Infantry Regiments, the Second and Third Cavalry Regiments, and Cobb's and Graves' Batteries. The Union organizations from Kentucky were the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Twenty-Third Infantry Regiments, and the Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Cavalry Regiments. In words calling for reconciliation, Kentucky declared that as they united in life and united in death, one monument should perpetuate their deeds, and one people, forgetful of all asperities, should forever hold in grateful remembrance all the glories of that terrible conflict which made all men free and retained every star on the nation's flag.
