American Civil War
Twenty-Fifth Regiment Infantry
In Harper's Magazine, August, 1865, Rev. John S. C. Abbott, the historian,
writes as follows:
" Colonel Orlando H. Moore was in command of 200 patriot troops stationed at Tebb's Bend, on Green river. This was the only force to retard the advance of the rebels upon New Market. On the 2d of July scouts brought in the report that Morgan's band was advancing in full force upon the Bend. Undaunted by the vast superiority of the rebels in numbers, Colonel Moore, as soon as he received the news, mounted his horse and rode over the surrounding country to select his own battle-field.
