The Union Soldiers and Sailors Monument Association is formed in Louisville, KY with the aim of establishing the first monument to the Union men of Kentucky. Aside from a marker dedicated in Cave Hill Cemetery in 1914, no such public monument was ever realized. In 1897, the Association publishes The Union Regiments of Kentucky as “a monument to the soldiers” that may help to progress “a stately shaft of granite as a further memorial.” The account omits detailed mention of any USCT regiments, arguing that, since such regiments “belonged directly to the United States government” and “were never in or connected with the Kentucky regiments, an account of them in no way belongs to this work.”
