"Morgan's Men" here

Marker Number: 

627

Location: 

Shakervillage

Shakers hid their horses as CSA Gen. J. H. Morgan's cavalry came this way July 13, 1862. But he forbade command to trespass or molest Shakers out of respect for their religion. Grateful for this good treatment Shakers fed Morgan and his men magnificently as they retreated through here on Oct. 11, 1862 after Battle of Perryville. See map on other side.

Originally erected March 24, 1964.
