Man Who Saved Kentucky Dies at 78 in Louisville
Col. R. Jacob known as the man who saved Kentucky from secession and helped capture Gen. Morgan in the Civil War died at his Louisville home at age 78. His career began with a 1845 overland trek and included service with Fremont in the Mexican War and a legislative career as a Democrat. He cast the pivotal vote for the Union in the secession crisis and led forces in Morgan's raid, with Confederate leaders surrendering to him. Late in the war he served as lieutenant governor of Kentucky.
