The skirmishes at Lawrenceburg and Battle of Dog Walk, located in Anderson County, Kentucky, are like most Civil War battles, not very known and important to only those who fought them - and for those who made the ultimate sacrifice, their families. The battles are a part of our history and as such, they must not be forgotten.

The Confederate Cavalry did not dislodge the Federal position at the Cemetery South of Lawrenceburg and retired South down Stringtown Rd. The troopers proceeded West on what is now Hwy 513, which intersects Chesser's Store Road (US 62) in the small community of Fox Creek (Dog Walk). It was here that the Confederate Cavalry, now under the command of Col. Ashby was waiting for Gen. Sill's supply wagons. Thus begun the Battle of Dog Walk (aka the Battle of Chesser's Store, the Battle of Dry Ridge or the Battle of Salt River). By the end of the day, fifty eight of Gen. Sill's wagons were captured and burned and some 600 Federal prisoners were taken. The Battle of Dog Walk, October 9th, 1862, fought the day after Perryville, was a Confederate victory. However, like so many battles in the Civil War where men fought, and bled, and died, it was overshadowed by other events and proved decisive only for those who were lost.

Col Henry Marshall Ashby's cavalry - the 2nd Tennessee CSA - was originally Barteau's, and was often called Barteau's Brigade. They featured prominently at many of Forrest's most famous battles, such as Brice's Crossroads. In fact, they were formed up at Guntown, MS. Later, as their numbers changed, they were folded into the 22nd Tennessee, and in 1864 the regiment was under Forrest's direct command.

After the war, Ashby visited New York City but soon returned to Knoxville.[6] On July 10, 1868, E.C. Camp, a former Union Army major, local lawyer and future coal industry tycoon, having quarreled with Ashby previously and having accused him of mistreating Union prisoners during the war, shot Ashby to death on Main Street in Knoxville.[2][6][10] Camp said the shooting was in self-defense and he was never prosecuted. Shortly after the war, Camp became embroiled in a quarrel with Colonel Henry Ashby, a native Virginian who had fought for the Confederacy. In 1866, Camp accused Ashby of cruelly mistreating 431 Union soldiers that had been captured by Confederate forces in 1862, leading to Ashby's arrest and indictment for treason. Ashby posted bail and fled to Atlanta, but returned to Knoxville in 1868 after the charges were dropped.[10]

On July 9, 1868, Ashby encountered Camp on Gay Street, and a brief struggle ensued, with Ashby attacking Camp with a cane, and Camp striking Ashby with an umbrella.[10] The following day, Ashby confronted Camp at the latter's law office near the corner of what is now Walnut and Main. According to some reports, Ashby attempted to strike Camp with a cane, and according to others, Ashby drew a derringer. In any case, Camp drew a pistol and fired, killing Ashby.[10] After Camp was arrested for murder, his bail was posted by several former Unionists, among them future Knoxville Journal editor William Rule. Knoxville's pro-Democratic newspaper, the Daily Press and Herald, dubbed Camp a cold-blooded killer, while the city's pro-Republican paper, the Knoxville Whig, hailed him as a hero. The county's acting district attorney eventually issued a nolle prosequi, and Camp was never prosecuted for the killing.[10] Henry Marshall Ashby was buried in Old Gray Cemetery in Knoxville.

In his youth, he organized an informal cavalry company known as the Mountain Rangers, which became part of the 7th Virginia Cavalry ("Ashby's Brigade"). On the outbreak of the Civil War, Ashby and his troopers were assigned to the Virginia Militia command of Colonel Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. Although Jackson's Valley campaign owed much to Ashby's reconnaissance and screening, Ashby was criticized by Jackson for the lax training and discipline of his men. By the time Ashby was killed, leading his men at the Battle of Good's Farm near Harrisonburg, he had received his general’s star. However, Ashby's official rank is contested as the promotion was not confirmed until after his death.

The two Ashbys were cousins. Indeed, the war did not end for some people. One member of Forrest's escort went to a reunion near Memphis and was beat to death by several assailants, some of whom were identified but none was charged with the death. And, Forrest's brother Bill, who commanded the scouts, was attacked on the Natchez Trace by five men - he got them all but one. That one was one of his scouts, and his testimony against the guy for murder put him in prison for five years. When he got out he went looking for revenge! All the Forrest brothers were tough but Bill was particularly so - however, he sustained some sort of stomach injury in the fight. A couple years or so later he got sick from bad water in Memphis and complications from this injury punched his ticket.
