The unit skirmished in Tennessee and Kentucky, then fought with J. H. Morgan, Most of its men were captured at Buffington Island on July 19, 1863, and the rest at New Lisbon on July 26, 1863. The regiment was not reorganized. In their short term of service, Morgan's Men became legendary for their "Morgan's Raid" behind Union lines into Indiana. The Battle of Corydon occurred on July 9, 1863 when 450 members of the Harrison County Home Guard attempted to delay General John Hunt Morgan's 2,400 Confederate soldiers from advancing through the North. Morgan's Raid began near Sparta in eastern Tennessee on June 11, 1863 and ended near New Lisbon, Ohio on July 26, 1863 with the capture of Morgan. The intent of the raid was to divert the attention of the Union Army of Ohio from Confederate forces in Tennessee. General Braxton Bragg commanded Morgan to stay in Kentucky and not to cross the Ohio River, but for some reason Morgan defied this command. Morgan led his cavalrymen on a 46 day 1,000 mile raid through Indiana and Ohio.

Download or read book The Bold Cavaliers written by Dee Brown and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2012-10-23 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “exciting” Civil War history of the Confederate cavalrymen, Morgan’s Raiders, by the New York Times–bestselling author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (Kirkus Reviews). In this vibrant and thoroughly researched Civil War study, Dee Brown tells the story of Morgan’s Raiders, the Kentucky cavalrymen famed and feared for their attacks on the North. In 1861, Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan and his brother-in-law Basil Duke put together a group of formidable horsemen, and set to violent work. They began in their home state, staging raids, recruiting new soldiers, and intercepting Union telegraphs. Most were imprisoned after unsuccessful incursions into Ohio and Indiana years later, but some Raiders would escape, regroup, and fight again in different conflicts, participating in the so-called Great Conspiracy in Canada. The Bold Cavaliers is as engrossing in its historical detail as in its rich adventure. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Dee Brown including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

This book was released on 2015-11-21 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kentucky 2nd Battalion Mounted Rifles was commissioned March 12, 1862 and completed its organization during the late fall. The unit was attached to the Department of East Tennessee, then the Department of Western Virginia and East Tennessee. It skirmished in various conflicts in the mountainous region of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia. Early in 1865 it disbanded. Research on this unit has proven to be quite difficult. There was also a Federal Unit referred to as the 2nd Kentucky Battalion. Additionally, a Federal Colonel named Thomas Johnson also fought in the same theatre and Gen. Morgan's Cavalry did not leave very many records of their actions. For the early part of the war, the 2nd's actions follow the path of the rest of the men of Morgan's Raiders. Following Gen. Morgan's death however, the 2nd remained in Kentucky and Tennessee and Western Virginia. They did not go with the rest of Morgan's men to the Atlanta campaign.
