Morgan’s Raid Foiled by Hayes and Cincinnati Troops
General Hayes devised a plan to defend the town against John Morgan’s cavalry raid. Morgan attempted a river crossing, but Hayes and Cincinnati forces blocked the escape at Boftington’s bend, capturing much of the raiders’ force and spoils. Morgan was later driven toward Pittsburg with his career ended and Gallipolis saved, a bold diversion rivaling Sherman’s march to the sea.
