Annotation

[1] Thirty-seventh Congress, Third Session, Senate Reports, No. 108, Report of the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War, Part III, pp. 148-49; also in Official Records, I, IV, 265. Fremont telegraphed Lincoln the same day, ``I have immediately ordered Captain [Andrew H.] Foote with gunboat to . . . Owensborough, and will take measures to guard the Ohio.'' (OR, I, IV, 265).

[2] Both sources are in error in naming ``Colonel Lane.'' Morton's telegram (DLC-RTL) reads ``Love'' instead of ``Lane,'' and undoubtedly refers to Lieutenant Colonel S. Palace Love of the Eleventh Kentucky Infantry, which was organized from Green River counties in Kentucky and was encamped at Owensboro.
