Civil War era experiences of Gov. Thomas E. Bramlette
Born in Cumberland (now Clinton) County, Ky., Bramlette was an attorney and politician before the war. When the Civil War began, he firmly supported the Union, denounced secession, and eventually led the 3rd Kentucky Volunteer Infantry Regiment before Abraham Lincoln appointed him a U.S. District Attorney out of Louisville in 1863.
