Battle on the Ohio: Morgan's raid ends in defeat at Buffington Island
The narrative recounts Morgan's raid across the Ohio River being crushed near Buffington Island. Union forces under Judah and Shackelford counterattacked at dawn amid fog, recaptured artillery, routed Confederate riders, and captured prisoners and vast plunder. Morgan escaped into the timber as river gunboats shelled pursuit. The author notes heavy Union casualties were avoided, while Morgan's men bore plenty of store-bought loot from their raid.
