The Annals of the Civil War Written by Leading Participants North and South (ed. Alexander Kelly McClure), Morgan's Indiana and Ohio raid. (search)
Morgan's Indiana and Ohio raid. General Basil W. Duke. The expedition undertaken by General Jrgan, in the summer of 1863, and known as the Indiana and Ohio raid, serves more than any other eff to effect any positive good, but a raid into Indiana and Ohio, he contended, would bring all the t would do; and more than once afterward, when Indiana and Ohio guides proved stubborn or recusant, asion, now that he had notified the people of Indiana that he was about to enter their territory. ar, the dense, able-bodied male population of Indiana and Ohio was as astonishing as it was disagreingly, so soon as he reached Harrison, on the Indiana and Ohio line, and twenty-five miles from Cincolumn was incumbered with the men wounded in Indiana; and those still in the saddle, reduced in nuxperience in Ohio was very similar to that in Indiana. Small fights with the militia were of hourlr morale. General Morgan had managed, in both Indiana and Ohio, to successfully avoid any serious e

no particular reason for wishing to save the slaves of other sections yet uninvaded by the enemy. Still, although the question began to be debated actively, and the army showed itself in favor of the movement, there was no concerted serious attempt to concentrate public opinion in regard to it until the latter part of October, 1864. Two events at that time suddenly waked the Confederates to the gravity of their situation. Sherman began his march to the sea, and the elections in Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania showed the rebels that McClellan was certain to be defeated for the Presidency, and that Lincoln would give them four years more of war unless they surrendered. The Confederates hoped much from McClellan's election; they were sanguine that he would be elected, and their disappointment was proportionately great. The march of Sherman in the same way showed them what Grant had several times insisted upon, that the Confederacy was like an empty egg-shell-all its powers of re

d to go into one army or the other, a majority of the citizens of Marion made their way northward and entered the Federal ranks. Although East Tennessee had a population of only about two hundred and fifty thousand, she put twenty-one cavalry regiments into the Union army and eight infantry regiments. Of this number twelve were organized as cavalry and the rest as mounted infantry, which is the same. In this there is no account taken of the Tennesseeans who enlisted in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois regiments, of whom there were thousands. The policy of the government in mounting so large a proportion of the Tennessee troops was to get the benefit of their gallant horsemanship. Accustomed from early youth to horseback exercise they excelled in that branch of service. Some of the best cavalry in the service was from Tennessee. The Tennessee troops in the Union army are without a historian. There has been no extended narratives of their battles and exploits. And to th

therefore, leave the curious reader to glean from the papers of the day, and the records of Congress, a comprehensive idea of the swindling, greater or less, that the necessities of our government obliged it to submit to. But of the Quartermaster's Department I am as competent, perhaps, as any one else to speak. On the 5th of August, 1863, I received an order to inspect the Quartermaster and Commissary Departments of the Military Department of the Ohio, which included the States of Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky. Major General Burnside was in command, with headquarters at Cincinnati. Upon reporting there my first care was to cause to be prepared by the chief quartermaster a complete list of all contracts awarded within a certain period, with the names of the bidders at each letting. With this as a guide it was a simple matter to learn what fraud had been practiced, for I had only to direct my orderlies to serve a summons upon each disappointed bidder to report at headquarters and te

Morgan's Indiana and Ohio Railroad. Colonel J. E. M'Gowan. This writing was suggested by the perusal of a sketch of the Morgan raid of The force sent in advance to seize boats with which to cross into Indiana, secured two large steamers on the morning of the 8th, and when Mode intended that Morgan should cross the river and run through Southern Indiana and Southern Ohio. The Federal general's plan had been all thfor this sacrifice was to give the Knights of the golden circle of Indiana, and the Vallandighammers of Ohio, a touch of the quality of theirued to the troops and gunboats not to prevent Morgan from entering Indiana, or that the commanders of both the naval and land forces manifest a very lively time in initiating their visit to the people of Southern Indiana. And whether or not, as Duke says, the gunboat could have bec good many of our men's homes lay along the rebel line of march in Indiana and Ohio, and the sights I have described did not impress them wit
