Feeding the Enemy on the Morgan Raid Night
During Morgan's July raid along the Ohio border, a rural family shields Union troops by hosting the raiders at their home. Grandpa Drum mond oversees the feast while Aunt Piety and Orvilly manage the table. Bob drums up pride in his horses as the guerrillas pass, and the family frets over Dolly Varden and Snip joining the raiders, even as the home guards near.
