In Kentucky, the Civil War Never Really Ended
It’s still claiming lives…
As it turns out, there were two casualties at last weekend’s national re-enactment of the Battle of Perryville: Two horses died.
The animals died during the Oct. 7 and 8 re-enactment of Kentucky’s largest Civil War battle, said Gil Lawson, spokesman for the state Department of Parks.
“About all I know is that we had two horses that had to be put down,” Lawson said. “We did have a veterinarian on site because we had so many horses. This was something that the veterinarian and horse owners made decisions about, but I don’t have any other details. … I’m sure these owners were devastated.”
