A reenactor explains to the crowd how 125 Augusta, Kentucky men battled against seven companies of raiding Confederate soldiers This reenactor explains to the small crowd in words close to what the city website says about the skirmish. This is <a href="https://www.augustaky.com/history-of-augusta" rel="noreferrer nofollow"> what the website</a> says: "On September 27, 1862, Colonel Basil Duke led seven companies of Confederate soldiers to Cemetery Hill, above the small town of Augusta. With two pieces of artillery and 350 of [Confederate general John Hunt Morgan] Morgan's finest Raiders, Duke hoped to disperse the Union militia of 125 men stationed there (led by Colonel Joshua T. Bradford and known as the "Home Guard") before crossing the Ohio River and moving on Cincinnati. …Duke's horsemen rode into town, expecting a quick surrender. Instead, the residents of Augusta met the Rebs with a hail of gunfire, mounting a stiff defense that ultimately resulted in hand-to-hand fighting. Duke later reported, 'The hand-to-hand fighting in the houses...was the fiercest and hottest I ever saw. I witnessed in some of them the floors piled with corpses and blood trickling down the stairways.' ​ About fifteen Union soldiers were killed or wounded in the battle. Duke's losses were considerably more severe, with seventy-five to one hundred of his soldiers wounded or killed. Although the Confederates eventually forced the militia to surrender, the battle caused Duke to abandon his plans of taking the war onto Northern soil."

Kentucky men put their women and children in this huge wine cellar to protect them from raiding Confederate soldiers ... before the men themselves went off to save their town of Augusta and stop the Confederates. (Baker-Bird Winery, owners of this place, say it is America's oldest wine cellar.)

Day's end on the Ohio It is not just the sunset that occupies my thoughts. Looking from the shore of the historic town of Augusta, Kentucky (est. 1786) over the Ohio River, I see the sun setting over the shore of the short-lived spiritualist utopian society of Utopia, Ohio (est. 1844). This place is filled with history.

American Countess docked at Augusta This paddlewheel boat is scheduled to cruise south for days to visit historic and picturesque sites on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Today the cruise ship stopped at Augusta, a picturesque and historical small town on the shores of the Ohio River. This place was anciently settled from 1000 to 1700 A.D by the Fort Ancient culture, who then disappeared, including their permanent wooden structures. It was then settled by those with European and African ancestry since the late 1700s. A Revolutionary War battle took place about 30 miles south of here, the Battle of Blue Licks. The Brits won that one. A Civil War battle happened on Main Street of this United States-loving town. Invading Confederate soldiers from Tennessee tried to burn Augusta to the ground after its residents took to the rooftops and top-floor windows to shoot at them. And a singer and movie star, Kentuckian Rosemarie Clooney, aunt of actor George Clooney, retired here near her roots.
