Summary:	Colonel Fry, a Federal officer during the Civil War, writes about the Union victory at the Battle of Mill Springs, Kentucky, January, 1862. Fry describes how he mistook the Confederate general Zollicoffer for a Union officer, who, in turn appeared to have taken Fry for a Confederate officer. Upon realizing his mistake, Fry shot Zollicoffer dead. Mill Springs is also known as Logan's Cross-Roads and Fishing Creek.
