11th Cavalry
Then- atrocities had assumed such proportions that General Burbridge, commanding the district of Kentucky, issued an order making it a military offense, with severe punishment, for an officer or private soldier to take prisoners among them, or in any way to respect them as regular soldiers in the Confederate service—thus substantially delaring war against them under the black flag, which military order is still in full force and effect. Companies F and M, under command of Captain D. D. Buck of Company F, were sent to Flemingsburg. Companies A and C, under command of Captain E. C. Miles, of Company C, were ordered to Hazel Green, and Company I, under command of Captain George, was sent to Owensville, and the remainder of the regiment, under command of Major Charles E. Smith, was ordered to remain at Mount Sterling for the protection of that place, and to scout the surrounding country whenever their services might be needed.
