Copies of letters, reports, depositions, and other statements pertaining to General Don Carlos Buell's destruction of the salt works in Goose Creek, Kentucky on 21 October 1862, during the Civil War. Buell ordered the salt works destroyed to prevent Confederate forces from gaining control of them. Colonel David A. Enyart of the 1st Kentucky Infantry, Lieutenant Colonel Charles S. Hanson of the 20th Kentucky Infantry, and Lieutenant Colonel Warner Spencer of the 2nd Kentucky Infantry executed Buell's order. On February 16, 1863, Secretary of War Edwin M.
