Great Raid
—July 6, 1863 —
By early December 1862 stockades had been constructed along the L&N at Sheperdsville, Bardstown Junction, Belmont and Cain Run, just north of Lebanon Junction. These wooden fortifications were designed to protect against an attack by cavalry or infantry; they were not, however, designed to withstand artillery.HM Number | HM2AJ4 |
