Recollections, ca. 1890s [microfilm manuscript].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/25678037

Recollections concerning Hathaway's early life at Deer Park Plantation in Montgomery County, Ky.; his education at Western Military Institute (Georgetown, Ky.); Kentucky Military Institute (Frankfort, Ky.), and Transylvania University (Lexington, Ky.); slavery; Kentucky politics prior to the war; and his Civil War experiences as a lieutenant in the 14th Kentucky Cavalry, serving with John Hunt Morgan during cavalry raids into Indiana and Ohio in 1863, and as a prisoner at Western Pennsylvania Penitentiary (Allegheny, Pa.), Point Lookout, Md., Fort Delaware, and Ft. McHenry (Baltimore, Md.). The reminiscences also concern Hathaway's accompanying Varina and Jefferson Davis on their flight south after the fall of Richmond, and gives some idea of the war's effect on the Hathaway family fortunes.
