John A. Lewis papers, 1865-1970 1865-1918 (bulk dates).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/16766413

These materials consist of Civil War documents, personal narratives and typescript sketches of John A. Lewis as well as newspaper clippings regarding his life and involvement with the Ninth Kentucky Cavalry. Although the part that Lewis played in the war was a humble one and his career as a soldier was less than brilliant, he never-the-less was a faithful and devoted soldier who later wrote many narratives and sketches of his experiences during the war. Various newspaper clippings of historical articles about the Ninth Kentucky Cavalry and articles concerning the death of John A. Lewis are present as well as several typed sketches by Lewis. Among the typescripts are "Sketch of the Early Life and Service in the Confederate Army of Dr. John A. Lewis of Georgetown, Kentucky", "A Full Sketch of the Organization and Service of the Ninth Regiment of Kentucky Cavalry C.S.A.", "A Sketch of the Part Taken By the Kentucky Cavalry Brigade, Commanded by Col. W.C.P. Breckinridge in the Defeat and Capture of General George Stoneman of the Federal Army near Atlanta, Georgia in August, 1864" and "Morgan's Christmas Raid". Also present in the collection is a published work, "A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF THE REV. CADWALLADER LEWIS, OF BEL-AIR, FRANKLIN COUNTY, KY.", by his son, John A. Lewis; as well as other miscellaneous materials.
