Buckner sued by rail line over 1861 Kentucky bridges damage
The Louisville and Nashville Railroad sued Teverht Buckner in 1861 for 266000 dollars claiming damages from destruction of bridges and water tanks in Kentucky while Buckner commanded Confederate troops. The case notes Buckner’s wartime command, default judgment, and a five year window to open the ledgers, with brief mention of a local telegraph office storm anecdote and the death of Mrs. Harry Langdon in Nashville.
