Abstract | Leeland Hathaway (b. 1834) was a Confederate Army officer. Hathaway was born near Mt. Sterling, Montgomery County, Ky., and grew up on a plantation called Deer Park. Photocopies. The collection contains recollections concerning Hathaway's early life at Deer Park Plantation; his education at Western Military Institute (Georgetown, Ky.); Kentucky Military Institute (Frankfort, Ky.), and Transylvania University (Lexington, Ky.); slavery; Kentucky politics prior to the war; and his Civil War experiences as a lieutenant in the 14th Kentucky Cavalry, serving with John Hunt Morgan during cavalry raids into Indiana and Ohio in 1863, and as a prisoner at Western Pennsylvania Penitentiary (Allegheny, Pa.), Point Lookout, Md., Fort Delaware, and Fort McHenry (Baltimore, Md.).
