Autograph letter signed. Colonel Fry, a Federal officer during the Civil War, writes about the Union victory at the battle of Mill Springs, Kentucky, January, 1862.

Once Fry realized his error, he was able to shoot Zollicoffer dead. Mill Spring's is also known as Logan's Cross-Roads and Fishing Creek.
