CSA General John Hunt Morgan and a company of troops arrived here on May 11, 1862. They seized a train reported to be carrying some of Morgan's men captured at Lebanon, Tenn. Instead, it carried railroad employees, whom he released. Morgan burned the train, then later detained a second one carrying passengers. Among them were two officers from the command of Col. Frank Wolford, USA.
