Why was Luke shot?


Was she considered a traitor?

reply

Her names was Lukey.

And I don't know.

A black person riding with Union soldiers?

Aiming for soldiers and missed?

reply

Late reply but agree. Rebs fired at a column of Union Cavalry. Not at a particular person. So, like they say, "being in a bad place at a bad time..." the bullet found her instead of a Union soldier. Remember the Rebs were outnumbered, so were very eager to fire and run.
