LaRue County Kentucky native and country music newcomer, Clay Underwood is well on his way to becoming one of the hottest rising stars on the Nashville Scene. With his trailblazing debut hit single "Behind These Walls" co-written by Dierks Bentley, Mel Tillis Jr., and Tammy Rogers, Underwood became the first unsigned independent artist in years to break TOP 40 and hold a spot for 4 weeks on the Nashville Music Row.

This is your chance to witness the birth and creative vision of a true Country Music Artist that will be around for a long time and hear him perform songs from his  album's 14 song collection which many of Nashville's elite are already calling "the best country music album in over a decade!"

OUR ALLIANCES ARE TO THE CONFEDERACY

1st KENTUCKY BRIGADE, C.S.A.

OCTOBER, 1861- Elizabethtown, regarded as an old and rather dilapidated town with about 1,500 inhabitants, and presenting no features of importance was known to be a strong disunion community, composed of a class controlled by ex-Governor John LaRue Helm, a resident of the town. Some of its finest able-bodied men were willing to fight for the safety of their homes and the lives of all they held dear as defenders of the right of self-government, liberty and peace. For every man that shouldered a musket for the north, four formed an alliance to the Confederacy.

The Hardin County History Museum honors the South's great soldiers, now men of history and legend.

The way of life they defended is gone forever, but their names and words an never be forgotten.
