Against direct orders from General Braxton Bragg Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan crossed the Ohio River at Morvins landing, Indiana with two brigades and then crossed southeastern Indiana and southern Ohio. You will be able to follow this expedition by reading from original reports, diary entries and books written by the participants from its beginning until its conclusion at West Point, near Salineville, Ohio. From these original records you will be able to make your own decisions as to what happened rather than depend on an author's interpretation. You will also be able to read some of the men's experiences in P.O.W. camps and efforts to escape back to Confederate territory after the expedition was brought to a close by Union forces in eastern Ohio.

From July 13-26, 1863, Confederate Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan led a daring group of more than 2,000 men across Southern Ohio. His mission: to distract and divert as many Union troops as possible from the action in Middle Tennessee and East Tennessee. Union troops under the command of Major General Ambrose Burnside gave chase. Although they were ultimately successful, ending Morgan's raid was a much harder job than anyone anticipated. With the John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail, you too can follow Morgan's route through southern and eastern Ohio. Fifty-six interpretive signs covering 557 miles through nineteen counties tell the story of the raid's successful beginnings, the battle with Union forces at Buffington Island, Morgan's desperate escapes, and finally his capture.

The first full biography of the famous Confederate cavalry leader from Kentucky. It provides fresh, unpublished information on all aspects of Morgan's life and furnishes a new perspective on the Civil War. In a highly original interpretation, Ramage portrays Morgan as a revolutionary guerrilla chief. Using the tactics of guerrilla war and making his own rules, Morgan terrorized federal provost marshals in an independent campaign to protect Confederate sympathizers in Kentucky. He killed pickets and used the enemy uniform as a disguise, frequently masquerading as a Union officer. Employing civilians in the fighting, he set off a cycle of escalating violence which culminated in an unauthorized policy of retaliation by his command on the property of Union civilians. To many southerners, Morgan became the prime model of a popular movement for guerrilla warfare that led to the Partisan Ranger Act. For Confederates he was the ideal romantic cavalier, the "Francis Marion of the War," and they make him a folk hero who was especially adored by women. Discerning fact from folklore, Ramage describes Morgan's strengths and weaknesses and suggests that excessive dependence on his war bride contributed to his declining success. The author throws new light on the Indiana-Ohio Raid and the suspenseful escape from the Ohio Penitentiary and unravels the mysteries around Morgan's death in Greeneville, Tennessee. Rebel Raider also shows how in the popular mind John Hunt Morgan was deified as a symbol of the Lost Cause.

Have you ever wondered why the Union Army had to chase Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan through Kentucky, across part of Indiana and then across Ohio almost to Pennsylvania before they caught him? After reading these dispatches and telegrams you will know why. We are going to view the messages sent by the Union Army and Navy during Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan's July 1863 Indiana-Ohio Raid. Not all of these messages can be used as historical fact. Some have wildly inflated head counts for General Morgan's forces. Some exaggerate the amount of artillery General Morgan had. Some are just fantasy. Right or wrong, they are the information that was passed back and forth during General Morgan's raid. Sometimes it was helpful to Union commanders trying to decide what to do next and sometimes it was very misleading. I am presenting all of the messages concerning the Indiana-Ohio Raid that are preserved in Series 1, Volume 23, Part 1 of "The War of the Rebellion" and Series 1, Volume 25 of "Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies in the War of the Rebellion" so you can see for yourself what was sent up the chain of command and down the chain of command. Let me stress to use caution in considering any specific message as proven fact of what happened.
