Welcome to the home of the
an N-SSA organization

This is the world wide web home of the "Alligator Horses", the
"Bold Cavaliers", "Morgan's Men", the 2nd KY Cavalry. The group was formed
by John Hunt Morgan in 1862 after the battle of Shiloh. It consisted
mostly of remnants of his former command the Lexington Rifles. Between the
years of '62 and '63 Gen. Morgan and his men rode daring raids through Kentucky
and Tennessee causing havoc and disorder with Union logistics. Eventually
his rides lead to massive raid across Indiana and Ohio. Gen. Morgan
established himself as a fierce fighter and excellent leader brining innovative
tactics to Cavalry warfare. On September 4, 1864 Gen. Morgan was caught
off guard near Greenville, TN and was murdered after surrendering to Union
forces.
Now in the 21st century Morgan's men take the field to do battle again against
their foes, but this time in friendly competition. As a member of the
Midwest Region of the North-South Skirmish Association the 2nd Ky Cav takes up
arms to compete in Musket, Carbine, Revolver, and Breechloader individual and
team competition.
