JOHN MORGAN CYNTHIANA, KY 19 October 1911. Editor Herald - As reminiscences are in order, I will remember 22d of April 1861, when my brother, Jo Desha, with 107 men marched through the streets of Cynthiana and boarded the train for Lexington on their way to join the rebel army under Stonewall Jackson at Harper's Ferry. That was a gala day and it looked like all the people of Harrison County were rebels then. The particular incident I wish to recall is that Captain John H. Morgan and Dr. John R. Desha, your grandfather walked ahead of the company from the old Kentucky Central depot, near the asylum, to the Louisville depot, below the Phoenix to give assurances that there were resolute men back of them ready to take a hand if any trouble was started. I saw Morgan and his Lexington Rifles drilling at a State Guard Encampment, commanded by Roger Hanson at Camp Frazier, a little below Cynthiana in may of that year. I think Sanders D. Bruce and his Lexington Chasseurs wre not in attendance. W. C. P. Breckenridge was then with the Lexington Company and my cousin Issa Desha, who was visiting her kinsfolk here. I saw John Morgan again on the day after the first Morgan fight, sitting on his horse - It must have been Black Bess - and wearing that broad brimmed black hat pinned up on one side with a rosette and with a long black drooping ostrich plume on the other. I will give you a stanza of an old song I heard Jimmie Doyle sing: "And we'll jump upon the railroad, Every boy and man; For John Morgan will promote ye, When ye get to Cynthiana." Very truly yours, Lucius Desha Cynthiana Democrat Thurs 2 Nov 1911 Vol. 44 No. 6 Pg. 7 Col. 1 Our Neighbors Grant Co. Born to wife of Sherman Tomlin of Stewartsville, a boy. Robert K.
