Confederate Gen. Humphrey Marshall CDV of the general in uniform. He was a member of the West Point class of 1832. He was a Kentucky resident and initially backed his state’s neutrality in the secession crisis. However, in 1861 he accepted a Confederate commission as brigadier general and had to flee Kentucky under indictment for treason. He did not like his assignment to the west Virginia mountains
and resigned his commission in 1862. Within days he was cajoled into accepting reappointment as brigadier general and in September was ordered to take part in Bragg’s Kentucky campaign. He was slow in arriving in the state, politicked with Maj. Gen. Kirby against Bragg, and
rarely took his position on time for any maneuver. He resigned his commission in June 1863 and entered the Second Confederate Congress where he remained until it was it adjourned. Backmark E. & H.T. Anthony, New York.
