Battle of Sacramento Driving Tour

Battle of Sacrament Reenactmento The yearly reenactment of the December 28, 1861 Battle at Sacramento, KY.  Adam Rankin Johnson and Robert Martin were scouts for Lt. Col. Nathan Bedford Forrest during his 1861 Kentucky Operations. The December 1999 issue of Civil War Times magazine includes a article on Forest's battlefield debut with information on Johnson and Martins roles as scouts for him at Sacramento, KY.

Adam Johnson commanded a brigade which included the 10th KY Cavalry on Gen. John Hunt Morgan's July 1863 Raid into Ohio. The raid ended with the capture of Morgan and many of his men. The officers were imprisoned in the Ohio State Penitentiary. In November 1863, Morgan and a group of officers including several from the 10th Ky. escaped from the Pen in Columbus and made their way back across the Ohio River to Kentucky. Among the escapees was the 10th KY's LDow Hockensmith, whose skills as a stonemason made him a key part of the escape. The February 2000 issue of American History magazine includes an article on the escape as well as a reprint of Morgan's biographer and brother-in-law Gen. Basil Duke's telling of the tale of the escape.
