Below you shall find some links to websites which contain extensive records related to the Civil War in Kentucky. Many of these are very useful and I recommend all of them highly for their accuracy and thoroughness. However, I cannot stress the importance of independently checking any source for accuracy. Also, while it is convenient to find this information on the Internet, there is no substitute for actually doing the research for yourself. There are so many obscure and rare sources available to the dedicated researcher. By choosing to use resources which have not been used before, you get a slightly different look at an event which may have been considered well-known. In some instances, you may discover something which might be a little more important, something perhaps influential. This kind of research is positive and necessary. It also tends to lack the bias shared by much of today's politically correct research and manufactured history. Learn to enjoy looking at those dusty old papers in the archives, courthouses, historical societies, and libraries, and you will see your subject through different eyes. What you thought you understood will become more of a puzzle, but one worth attempting to solve. The story you will find in those hand-written pages will fascinate you to the point of taking over a part of your own life. Good luck!
