Butcher Burbridge: Union General Stephen Burbridge and His Reign of Terror Over Kentucky.  One of the most vilified and hated men during the Civil War in Kentucky had to be Kentucky born Union (brevet) Major General Stephen Gano Burbridge, but why have Kentuckian historians continued to cast him negatively?  This new detailed biography of the infamous "Butcher of Kentucky" answers this question, and also leads the reader from Burbridge's rise as a distinguished military commander, to his controversial, brutal rule over Kentucky, and ultimately to his downfall.
