William McKnight was a member of the Seventh Ohio Volunteer Cavalry
from September 1862 until his death in June of 1864. During his
time of service, McKnight penned dozens of emotion-filled letters,
primarily to his wife, Samaria, revealing the struggles of an
entire family both before and during the war. This collection of
more than one hundred letters provides in-depth accounts of several
battles in Kentucky and Tennessee, such as the Cumberland Gap and
Knoxville campaigns that were pivotal events in the Western
Theater. The letters also vividly respond to General John Hunt
Morgan's raid through Ohio and correct claims previously published
that McKnight was part of the forces chasing Morgan. By all
accounts Morgan did stay for a period of time at McKnight's home in
Langsville during his raid through Ohio, much to McKnight's horror
and humiliation, but McKnight was in Kentucky at the time.
Tragically, McKnight was killed in action nearly a year later
during an engagement with Morgan's men near Cynthiana, Kentucky.
