Basil W. Duke

Basil Wilson Duke (1838–1916) was a Kentucky lawyer who served as a Confederate officer under his brother-in-law John Hunt Morgan and rose to the rank of brigadier general. He later wrote a History of Morgan's Cavalry (1867).

"Morgan's War-Song", set to a combination of the Marseillaise and "Old Granite State", is reprinted here from W. L. Fagan's Southern War Songs (1890).
