Morgan Is Coming!: Confederate Raiders in the Heartland of Kentucky
One of the most thoroughly researched pieces of work that I have even encountered. Betty J. Gorin has explored every possible lead that would help tell the story of Morgan's repulse at Tebbs Bend that, I believe, was the real turning point in Morgan's career. --Dr. Lowell H. Harrison, Author, Civil War in Kentucky, Prof Emeritus, WKYUnivGorin's valuable, exhaustively researched book provides new perspective on the Civil War in south central Kentucky. She asks the right questions and includes new and valuable maps and related Civil war evetns to identifiable locations today. Gorin provides the first detailed account of the life of Union Col. Orlando H. Moore and the first in-depth description of his outstanding victory over Morgan at Tebbs Bend early in the Great Raid. No stone is left unturned, and readers will enjoy this book. --Dr. James A. Ramage, John Hunt Morgan's biographer, Regents Prof of Hist, Northern KY UnivGorin has unearthed a valuable trove of information related to the Civil War in south central Kentucky. Her work will stand as a solid source for those interested in the commonwealth's Civil War heritage. --Stuart W. Sanders, Civil War Specialist, KY Historical Society
