American Civil War
Twenty-Fifth Regiment Infantry
" General Morgan sent in a flag of truce and demanded the surrender, but the Colonel quietly remarked ' If it was any other day he might consider the surrender, but the 4th of July was a bad day to talk about surrender, and he must therefore decline. ' The Colonel is a gallant man, and the entire arrangement of his defense entitles him to the highest credit for military skill. We would mark such a man in our army for promotion. "
At the time these companies of the 25th were ordered from Louisville, Colonel Moore was Provost Marshal of that city.
