Re: Col. Orlando Moore 25th Michigan

The birth date for Col. Orlando "Hurley" Moore is July 13, 1827. He was born in Wilkes-Barre, PA. I wrote many pages about Colonel Moore in my book, "Morgan Is Coming! Confederate Raiders in the Heartland of Kentucky." He led his men in a courageous stand at Tebbs Bend in Green River, July 4, 1863, defeating a much larger force commanded by Rebel commander John H. Morgan. My book can be purchased from Harmonyhousepub or on Amazon. For an autographed copy, write me at smithgorin@alltel.net. Betty Gorin
