Close Quarters in Civil War Cavalry Duel
In east Tennessee during the war a cavalry clash led by Colonel B. M. McCook charged a superior Morgan force around a battery. Grange's Demi Brigade and Morgan’s troopers fought hand to hand as two cannons were captured and Morgan’s line routed. The Twenty-fifth Illinois, Grant’s former regiment, saw its colonel John W. Alexander fall in action at Chickamauga. News from Culpeper describes a Union picket reporting strained news with a derogatory remark about a white man and a "val'tte nigger" line.
