The 41st Kentucky Regiment was organized and mustered in at Covington, Kentucky. The duration of the regiment's service was thirty-days to coincide with GeneralBragg's invasion of Kentucky, and was disbanded at the expiration of its term of service.[1]
In January 1888, members of the 41st claimed they had never been mustered out of the U.S. service and were therefore entitled to pay up to 1888 and proposed to make an application. If ruled valid, each member would have been entitled to $3,500.[2]
