True; Lieut.- Col. Mathew Mullins, Majs., Thomas H. Mannen, Frederick H. Bierbower. Under the authority of a special act of Congress, Col. True, who had been an officer in the 20th Ky. infantry, recruited this regiment. The men were from the eastern part of the state and the regiment was mustered into the service at Grayson, Carter county, in Sept., 1863, to serve for twelve months. Cooperating with Col. Gallup it met and routed Ferguson near Paintsville in April, 1864. Morgan reached Mt. Sterling in June, near which place he overcame the forces then under Gen. Hobson, but a few days later the regiments under Cols. Hanson, Gallup, Brown, and True, which had followed hard on Morgan's track, fought him at Cynthiana, routed him completely, and pursued him through the mountains out of the state. In this the regiment bore its part most handsomely as the official reports show. In September the regiment went with tie expedition under Gen. Burbridge to Saltville, Va. After the return from this expedition it remained on duty in eastern Kentucky until Dec. 30, 1864, when it was mustered out. Source: The Union Army, vol. 4, p. 341 Battles Fought Fought at Virginia.
