According to Betty Jane Gorin's book "Morgan Is Coming," the Union camp was located just north of the Russell Creek bridge as one heads toward Campbellsville.The lay of the land in that area (broad, flat) makes it easy to imagine a camp there.

JIM: Ben Carter, Overland to Santa Fe - Part 3 of 5 By JIM In 1850, Adair County native Ben Carter, then a stripling lad of eighteen, took leave of the familial hearth and home in Breeding, Ky. and went west, briefly settling in Missouri until the spring of 1851, when he embarked on an adventure of a lifetime. Sixty years later, the Adair County News published a series of five letters from Mr. Carter which detailed his journey - an overland trip from Kansas City to Santa Fe. Your humble transcriber took the liberty of correcting minor typographical errors; correcting and adding minor punctuation for clarification; and in a few instances, adding information in parentheses for clarification. The final installment will include a brief biographical sketch of Mr. Carter. Part 3 of 5, published in the May 31, 1911 Adair County News. A Pioneer Journey: Uncle Ben Carter Writes of Wagon Journey to the Southwest, Made in 1851 The regiment finally got ahead of us. In a short time one of our boys was taken down with cholera and died in a few days. For his burial we placed the body on an undressed but dry buffalo skin and lowered it into the grave by holding the legs of the skin. We folded the skin over the body and I placed his hat on his face. We filled the grave half full of dirt, then put in a large log to keep wolves from disturbing the body. Several of us had light attacks of cholera, I among them.

Chuck Hinman: IJMA No. 195: The passing of the dining room Sunday is Eating Day in Adair County, and this Sunday with CM is filled with Eating stories and columns - not by design, but by serendipity, the way the elves make things happen here. Robert Stone found this heretofore unposted in CM Chuck Hinman essay on a subject many can similar with: The Dining Room, that special place in the big old houses only used when the preacher came after Sunday services. It's Chuck Hinman's It's Just Me Again Column No. 195, a jewel. And it does fit nicely with Tom Chaney's review of the Gary P. West's Eating Your Way Across Kentucky. The next earlier Chuck Hinman column is: Chuck Hinman, IJMA. Kinney, Nebraska lore By Chuck Hinman The passing of the dining room How long has it been since you ate a meal in the dining room (yours or someone else's) where the table was set with the best dishes in the house, the crystal, silver, and linen napkin? I bet you would be surprised how many dining rooms in a classy city like Bartlesville, Oklahoma, are for show only and seldom put to their intended use when house plans were drawn. This is not to put a guilt-trip on anyone. It will draw attention to a happy time that is most certainly passing before our eyes.

Tom Chaney: R746, Re-Review of Eating Your Way . . . Of Writers and Their Books: . First published in Hart County News-Herald 21 January 2007. This is an updated re-review of a book by Gary P. West, about a field in which Tom Chaney has unchallenged expertise: Eating.

West was ensconced at the Frankfort Book Fair last fall slogging his latest book. You may recall that his last book was a biography of legendary Kentucky basketball legend, King Kelly Coleman.

Schuyler McGaha was an encourager to other singers, musicians What a gentleman!, Shelbyville pastor writes Reverend Garry Polston writes: S.D. McGaha was an honorable man. He had many friends and fans who looked up to him. What a gentleman! I had so much respect for him and his quartet. When I was a small boy I used to listen to them on the radio every Sunday afternoon. I have heard them sing in person many times and had them in my church where I have been pastor. I never heard him speak an unkind word. He was an encourager to other singers and musicians. He will certainly be missed.Comments re article 49501. Schuyler D.
