Morgan's Raid Through Indiana and Ohio Ends in Defeat
The 1863 Morgan raid crossed the Ohio frontier as Gen Judah pursued from Glasgow to Buffington Island. Indiana and Ohio communities resisted supporting the rebels, while Henshaw's Ill. Battery and the 14th Ohio Cav unit chased Morgan after clashes near the river. Captures, gun retakes, and a few casualties marked the setback before Morgan surrendered days later at Lisbon Ohio.
