MEN OF THE 13TH KENTUCKY CAVALRY
CAPTURED AT GLADEVILLE, VA,
ON JULY 7, 1863
By Manton Ray Cornett
By allowing themselves to be caught off-guard, these men were taken captive
by a much larger Union force in the town of Gladeville, Virginia, that today
we know as Wise. We can only imagine their concerns and their fears as they
were marched out of town toward a most uncertain future. Would they be able
to escape? Would they be rescued or exchanged? Or, would they even be able to
survive a war that now seemed to have no end in sight?
