"Masterful Retreat: New Material: The Story of 7th ..." Topic

…Division's Retreat Across Eastern KY.

"In 2006, retired Judge Lewis D. Nicholls released his first book, A Masterful Retreat, about approximately 10,000 Union soldiers retreating from Cumberland Gap on the Kentucky-Tennessee border in the fall of 1862, to present-day Greenup, Kentucky. The original book consisted of 181 pages of text,maps, and pictures. The new unabridged edition contains additional material resulting from previously undiscovered research and improved maps. In addition, it consists of a new analysis of General George Washington Morgan's militarydecisions based upon European General Antonine-Henri Baron De Jomini's book, The Art of War. Both southern and northern officers studied this book in their military formative years at West Point. Judge Nicholls reformatted the book into the Chicago style of documentation, making the unabridged edition an easier read. In addition, he added a bibliography and index,giving serious readers improved tools to conduct a more in depth study of the retreat."

Cumberland Gap is a place of rocks,
Home of the panther and the bear and the fox.
Cumberland Gap is a mighty fine place,
Three kinds of water to wash your face.

September morning in '62,
Morgan's Yankees all withdrew.
They spiked Long Tom on the mountaintop,
Over the cliffs and they let him drop.

They burned up the hay and the meal and and meat,
They left us Rebels nothing to eat.
Braxton Bragg with his Rebel band,
Chased George Morgan back to Yankee land.

Oh, Cumberland Gap is not very far,
Just a little piece from Middlesboro.
Me and my wife and my wife's pap,
We all lived out of Cumberland Gap.
