Escape of Morgan and officers from Ohio Penitentiary
The 1863 Ohio penitentiary escape involved Gen. Morgan and 5 officers tunneling from an air chamber beneath their cell through five feet of foundation and twelve feet of cement to reach the yard. They used a rope and grappling hook to scale a 25 foot wall, then rode away with disguises, crossing the Ohio River at Cincinnati and fleeing into Kentucky and Tennessee with aid from Morgan’s command.
