Murray and Calloway County Closely Linked With Kentucky History, Tradition

Murray in the Civil War
At the time Murray was burned by the "Yankees" during the war between the states the town had eight or ten stores of the general merchandise variety and one drug store. About this time the aforesaid "Yankees" built a fort on the hill just above Pool Spring, and remnants of the breast-works are still to be seen there. The county "muster" was also held on these grounds previous to and after the war. Every able bodied citizen of the county was compelled to attend and drill. The muster was in command of Major Obidiah Meloan, who was commissioned by Governor Pickett in 1826, and who was a veteran of the Mexician war and the war of 1812
