Talk:Louisville in the American Civil War

message: Through working with Civil War historian Bryan S. Bush, I requested that he write a "Louisville During the Civil War" article released under a GFDL compatible license, namely the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License.  Even though I could copy the text verbatim and re-use it with an attribution without having to get permission, I went an extra step and got Bryan's permission for republishing as a Wikipedia article, given I would make many formatting and content changes for better use in the Wikipedia, and with the understanding that other editors will contribute many changes over time.
:Bryan Bush just added a lot of new content to his article at the link above.  It still has a Creative Commons license, so anybody is welcome to incorporate the new content into this article. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 15:42, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks for the info. You could upload the Quadrangle image, then I could Photoshop it to brighten it. By the way, I discovered another source of images -- I'll bring it up in the WikiProjects for Louisville and Kentucky. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 20:28, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jefferson General Hospital 

message: I'm not sure how to properly integrate this info into the article as of yet, but Bryan Bush has supplied me with information on the fortifications around Louisville from 1864-1865, apparently constructed (even though ultimately useless) under the orders of Stephen G. Burbridge.  These forts were listed in the book "The Falls City Engineers" by Leland R. Johnson, 1974 & 1984.
Eleven (or is it twelve?) Union forts protected the city, in a ring about ten miles long from Beargrass Creek to Paddy's Run.  Nothing remains of these constructions.  They included, from east to west:
*Fort Elstner between Frankfort Ave. and Brownsboro Road, near Bellaire, Vernon and Emerald Aves.
*Fort Engle at Spring Street and Arlington Ave.
*Fort Saunders at Cave Hill Cemetery.
*Battery Camp Fort Hill (2) (1865) between Goddard Ave., Barrett and Baxter Streets, and St. Louis Cemetery.
*Fort Horton at Shelby and Merriweather Streets (now site of city incinerator plant).
*Fort McPherson on Preston Street, bounded by Barbee, Brandeis, Hahn and Fort Streets.
*Fort Philpot at Seventh Street and Algonquin Parkway.
*Fort St. Clair Morton at 16th and Hill Streets.
*Fort Karnasch on Wilson Ave. between 26th and 28th Streets.
*Fort Clark (1865) at 36th and Magnolia Streets.
*Battery Gallup (1865) at Gibson Lane and 43rd Street.
*Fort Southworth on Paddy's Run at the Ohio River (now site of city sewage treatment plant).  Marker at 4522 Algonquin Parkway.
Also in the area were:
*Taylor Barracks, at Third and Oak Streets, an induction center for Union African-American troops.
*Camp Gilbert (1862), undetermined location.
*Camp C. F. Smith (1862), undetermined location.

thread_title: Civil War Defenses of Louisville (1864-1865)

message: While the executions in retaliation under Burbridge (1864 and after) are detailed, including the names of all the suspected Confederate guerrillas who were killed, there is little discussion except a generality about why martial law was thought necessary, and what the toll had been before it was imposed.  This could be dealt with by treating the later information in a more summary fashion, without the listing of each execution, or providing more material on what preceded Burbridge's command.  It certainly appeared he overreacted, but a more balanced account would be useful.--Parkwells (talk) 15:50, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps there should be a separate article on executions ordered by Burbridge.  It definitely is too much to list them all in this article.--Parkwells (talk) 19:36, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
