     Biographical note

During the Civil War, he fought under John Hunt Morgan in the 2nd Kentucky Cavalry and the 9th Kentucky Cavalry. After the war, he edited the  Lexington Observer and Reporter  from 1866 to 1868. He served in Congress as a Democratic representative from 1884 to 1894, suffering a bitter reelection defeat after ten years of representing central Kentucky. In 1897, he became the chief editorial writer for the  Lexington Morning Herald  managed by his son, Desha Breckinridge.
