 As a border state and strategic territory, Kentucky was fiercely contested by the Union and the Confederacy and had ties to both Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis. This book guides you to the sites of such battles as Perryville, Middle Creek, and Munfordville, and the childhood homes of both Lincoln and Davis as well as Mary Todd. You’ll also learn about Kentucky’s Confederate capital, Civil War governors, and its African American soldiers.
