OUR ALLIANCES ARE TO THE CONFEDERACY
1st KENTUCKY BRIGADE, C.S.A.
OCTOBER, 1861- Elizabethtown, regarded as an old and rather dilapidated town with about 1,500 inhabitants, and presenting no features of importance was known to be a strong disunion community, composed of a class controlled by ex-Governor John LaRue Helm, a resident of the town. Some of its finest able-bodied men were willing to fight for the safety of their homes and the lives of all they held dear as defenders of the right of self-government, liberty and peace. For every man that shouldered a musket for the north, four formed an alliance to the Confederacy.
The Hardin County History Museum honors the South's great soldiers, now men of history and legend.
The way of life they defended is gone forever, but their names and words an never be forgotten.
