This is my Great-Grandfather.

Has anyone seen a picture of Company D (or any other company in the 30th Regiment of Kentucky Mounted Infantry)? I have been told that pictures of Companies D and H existed. They were both very large pictures that hung on the wall, but the ones in my family were destroyed. I don't know if these were made during the war or after (veterans reunion).

I have a picture of William Kidd and some documents that I could e-mail if anyone is interested.

Burdine was born March 2, 1844. Burdine served in the Union Army during the Civil War with CO. K 30th KY INF and CO. M 2nd KY CAV. He died October 10, 1930. He is listed in the USG War archives as a private http://files.usgwarchives.org/ky/military/rosters/union/30rega-k.txt

I have a picture of his gravestone listing his unit. He served in K company.

'The 30th Kentucky Mounted Infantry was organized under the 20,000 call, and was mustered into the United States service for one year.
Companies A, B, E and F were mustered in at Frankfort Ky., February 19, 1864, and Company G March 29, 1864, by Capt. Charles H. Fletcher, 1st United States Infantry, and Companies C, D, H, I and K were mustered in
at Camp Burnside, Ky., April 5, 1864, by Maj. J. C. Henderson, 45th Ky. Infantry.'

Initially created to protect the Kentucky State Capital and to be in the service of the state, their mission changed as the War Department ordered that they be mustered into the United States Service. It seems that the service demanded every available man that could be raised. It was noted that 'This order at first created some little dissension...'
but the 30th became 'one of the most efficient one-year regiments in the service.'
