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. Stanton appointed William P. Thomasson, of Louisville, a commissioner to investigate and report on the value of the property destroyed. Printed by the General Printing Office.
