Condition as seen. Guaranteed period carte de visite. Scarce cdv of Confederate General John Hunt Morgan as a Prisoner of War in Cincinnati Ohio. Like most Kentuckians, Morgan did not initially support declaring secession from the United States. Immediately after Lincoln’s election in November 1860, he wrote to his brother, Thomas Hunt Morgan, then a student at Kenyon College in northern Ohio, “Our State will not I hope secede I have no doubt but Lincoln will make a good President, at least we ought to give him a fair trial & then if he commits some overt act all the South will be a unit.” By the following spring, Tom Morgan (who also had opposed Kentucky’s secession) transferred home to the Kentucky Military Institute and began to support the Confederacy. Just before the Fourth of July, by way of a steamer from Louisville, he quietly left for Camp Boone, just across the Tennessee border, to enlist in the Kentucky State Guard. John stayed home in Lexington to tend to his troubled business and ailing wife. Becky Morgan died on July 21, 1861. In September, Morgan and his militia company went to Tennessee and joined the Confederate States Army. Morgan soon raised the 2nd Kentucky Cavalry Regiment and became its colonel on April 4, 1862.[1] Morgan and his regiment fought at the Battle of Shiloh in April 1862, and he soon became a symbol to secessionists, in their hopes of occupying Kentucky for the Confederacy. A Louisiana writer, Robert D. Patrick, compared Morgan to Francis Marion and wrote that “a few thousands of such men as his would regain us Kentucky and Tennessee.”[citation needed] Confederate propaganda broadside published by John H. Morgan, July 15, 1862 (Duke University Libraries)In his first Kentucky raid, Morgan left Knoxville on July 4, 1862, with almost 900 men and, in three weeks, swept through Kentucky, deep in the rear of Major General Don Carlos Buell’s army. He reported the capture of 1,200 U.S. soldiers, whom he paroled, acquired several hundred horses, and destroyed massive quantities of supplies.[7] He unnerved Kentucky’s U.S. military government and President Abraham Lincoln received so many frantic appeals for help that he complained that “they are having a stampede in Kentucky.” Historian Kenneth W. Noe wrote that Morgan’s feat “in many ways surpassed J. E. B. Stuart’s celebrated ‘Ride around McClellan’ and the Army of the Potomac the previous spring.” The success of Morgan’s raid was one of the key reasons that the Confederate Heartland Offensive of Braxton Bragg and Edmund Kirby Smith was launched later that fall, assuming that tens of thousands of Kentuckians would enlist in the Confederate Army if they invaded the state.[8] As a colonel, the widow of Brigadier General Barnard Elliott Bee Jr. presented him with a Palmetto Armory pistol. The Museum of the American Civil War now owns that pistol. Morgan was promoted to brigadier general (his highest rank) on December 11, 1862, though Jefferson Davis did not sign the Promotion Orders until December 14, 1862.[1] He received the thanks of the Confederate Congress on May 1, 1863, for his raids on the supply lines of U.S. Army Major General William S. Rosecrans in December and January, most notably his victory at the Battle of Hartsville on December 7.[9] On December 14, 1862, Morgan married Martha “Mattie” Ready, the daughter of Tennessee United States Representative Charles Ready and a cousin of William T. Haskell, another former U.S. representative from Tennessee. Morgan’s RaidMain article: Morgan’s Raid Group of “Morgan’s Men” while prisoners of war in Western Penitentiary, Pennsylvania: (l to r) Captain William E. Curry, 8th Kentucky Cavalry; Lieutenant Andrew J. Church, 8th Kentucky Cavalry; Lieutenant Leeland Hathaway, 14th Kentucky Cavalry; Lieutenant Henry D. Brown, 10th Kentucky Cavalry; Lieutenant William Hays, 20th Kentucky Cavalry. All were captured with John Hunt Morgan in Ohio. 1863 General John H. MorganHoping to divert U.S. troops and resources in conjunction with the twin Confederate operations of Vicksburg and Gettysburg in the summer of 1863, Morgan set off on a diversionary campaign that would become known as “Morgan’s Raid”. Morgan crossed the Ohio River and raided southern Indiana and Ohio. At Corydon, Indiana, the raiders met 450 local Home Guard in the Battle of Corydon, resulting in eleven Confederates and five Home Guard killed. In July, at Versailles, Indiana, while Confederate soldiers raided nearby militia and looted county and city treasuries, the jewels of the local masonic lodge were stolen. When Morgan, a Freemason, learned of the theft, he recovered the jewels and returned them to the lodge the following day.[10] After several more skirmishes, during which Morgan captured and paroled thousands of U.S. soldiers[citation needed], Morgan’s raid almost ended on July 19, 1863, at the Battle of Buffington Island in Ohio, when approximately 700 of his men were captured while trying to cross the Ohio River into West Virginia. Intercepted by U.S. Army gunboats, over 300 of his men succeeded in crossing. Most of Morgan’s men captured that day spent the rest of the war in Camp Douglas, a prisoner-of-war camp in Chicago. On July 26, near Salineville, Ohio, Morgan and his depleted soldiers finally surrendered. It was the farthest northward that any uniformed Confederate troops would penetrate during the war.[11] On November 27, Morgan and six of his officers, most notably Thomas Hines, escaped from their cells in the Ohio Penitentiary by digging a tunnel from Hines’ cell into the inner yard and then ascending a wall with a rope made from bunk coverlets and a bent poker iron. Shortly after midnight, Morgan and three of his officers boarded a train from the nearby Columbus train station and arrived in Cincinnati that morning. Morgan and Hines jumped from the train before reaching the depot and escaped into Kentucky by hiring a skiff to take them across the Ohio River. Through the assistance of insurgents, they eventually reached the Confederacy. Coincidentally, the same day Morgan escaped, his wife gave birth to a daughter, who died shortly afterward before Morgan returned. Though Morgan’s Raid was breathlessly followed by the Northern and Southern U.S. press and caused the U.S. leadership considerable concern, it was little more than a showy but ultimately futile sidelight to the war. Furthermore, Morgan had disobeyed Braxton Bragg’s orders not to cross the river. Despite the raiders’ best efforts, U.S. forces had amassed nearly 110,000 militia in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio; dozens of United States Navy gunboats along the Ohio; and strong U.S. cavalry forces, which doomed the raid from the beginning. The cost of the attack to the United States was extensive, with compensation claims still being filed against the U.S. government well into the early 20th century. However, the Confederacy’s loss of Morgan’s light cavalry outweighed the benefits. Late career and deathAfter fleeing Ohio, Morgan returned to active duty. However, the men he was assigned were inexperienced compared to those he commanded previously. Morgan again began raiding into Kentucky. However, his men were undisciplined, and he was unwilling or unable to control them, leading to open pillaging along with high casualties. The raids of this season were in risky defiance of a strategic situation in the border states that had changed radically from the year before. U.S. Army defense of this region, long denied to major Confederate armies, had progressed so that even highly mobile raiders could no longer count on easily evading them. Public outrage at Morgan’s raid across the Ohio River may have contributed to this state of affairs. Morgan’s “Last Kentucky Raid” was carried out in June 1864, including during the Battle of Cynthiana. After winning a minor victory on June 11 against an inferior infantry unit in the engagement known as the Battle of Keller’s Bridge on the Licking River, near Cynthiana, Kentucky, Morgan chanced another engagement the following day against superior U.S. Army mounted forces that were known to be approaching. The result was a disaster for the Confederates, resulting in the destruction of Morgan’s force as a cohesive unit, only a tiny fraction of whom escaped with their lives and liberty as fugitives, including Morgan and some of his officers. Braxton Bragg never trusted Morgan again after the flashy but unauthorized 1863 Ohio raid. Nevertheless, on August 22, 1864, Morgan was placed in command of the Trans-Allegheny Department, embracing the Confederate forces in eastern Tennessee and southwestern Virginia at the time. Yet around this time, some Confederate authorities were quietly investigating Morgan for charges of criminal banditry,[citation needed] likely leading to his removal from command. He began to organize a raid aimed at Knoxville, Tennessee. Morgan was killed in Greeneville, Tenn., in the gardens of what is now called the Dickson-Williams Mansion Greeneville landmarks from Andrew Johnson, Plebeian and Patriot (1928) by Robert W. Winston, including “where General Morgan fell”John Hunt Morgan arrived in Greeneville, Tennessee on the afternoon of Saturday, September 3, 1864. That evening a 12-year-old boy, who lived west of town, rode the 18 mi (29 km) to a U.S. cavalry encampment at Bulls Gap to report that secessionist soldiers were in his town again.[12] Confederate scouts had spotted the U.S. forces, but Morgan believed the bulk of the force were some 50 mi (80 km) at Strawberry Plains. For their part, the “Tennessee Yankees,” led by Alvan C. Gillem, had inaccurate intelligence from the boy that Hunt was with maybe 300 men when, in fact, he had 1,500 soldiers and two cannons.[12] Gillem and his colonels, John K. Miller, W. H. Ingerton, and John “Belt” Brownlow,[13] determined they must seize the moment and organized what was intended to be an encirclement of the town, dividing their forces in two, with Ingerton’s locally raised soldiers taking “a trail used by wood haulers,”[14] and the bulk of the force under Gillem and Brownlow taking the main road.[12] The night ride was beset by thunderstorms, which conferred two meager advantages: Confederate scouts stayed inside, and “almost constant lightning” lit their way down the muddy, mostly empty, country roads.[12] Near morning, three civilians informed the advancing U.S. troops that they were facing a considerably larger Confederate force than they understood and that John Hunt Morgan had spent the night at the Williams mansion, where he dined with the ladies and the servants.[12] The Williams family had three sons, one a U.S. Army officer and two Confederate Army officers; thus, the family hosted officers of both armies during the war.[15] Hunt had placed pickets on three roads entering the town—but not Newport Road,[12] the one that Col. Ingerton and his men would take—and perhaps most importantly, “by placing his units a few miles outside Greeneville, Morgan rested for the night out of direct contact with his troops.”[14] As Col. Ingerton approached the town, “an excited young black man” was one of the three civilians who described Morgan’s whereabouts to U.S. soldiers. This was likely the first that Ingerton heard about Morgan specifically being in the area,[14] but Ingerton took the man at his word and “called upon Capt. Christopher C. Wilcox of Company G, ordering him to take his company and Northington’s Company I and ‘dash into town, surround the Williams’ residence, and bring Morgan out dead or alive.'”[12] Page four of a letter of September 7, 1864, from John B. Brownlow to O. P. Temple, describing Morgan’s death; per Brownlow, “He was shot about six inches below the chin, the ball striking the pulmonary artery.”[16]The two companies under the command of Capt. Wilcox rode into town, rousted what rebel sentries were to be found, and engaged in just enough gunfire with Confederates along Main Street to awaken Morgan.[12] As U.S. soldiers entered the Williams property, they spotted “a man clad in a white shirt and trousers near the summer house. As they raced toward him, Morgan fired his pistols at them and dashed into the vineyard bordering Depot Street.”[14] Morgan fled through the grape arbor toward a hotel until Pvt. Andrew Campbell caught up with his group of three.[12] Of two officers with Morgan in the shrubbery, one surrendered, and one “caught a loose horse” and escaped.[14] Despite Campbell’s repeated demands that he halt, Morgan failed to comply and kept running.[12] Pvt. Campbell shot Morgan through the back, foiling his getaway.[12] The bullet traveled through his heart, and he died on the spot.[12] Only later did any of the U.S. soldiers learn who Campbell had killed when Morgan’s body was identified by one of his staff officers, apparently in quite sentimental language: “You have killed the best man in the Southern Confederacy…It is General Morgan.”[14] Morgan was buried in Lexington Cemetery. The burial was shortly before the birth of his second child, another daughter. Legacy Morgan’s Grave, in Lexington CemeteryHart County High School, in Munfordville, Kentucky, the site of the Battle for the Bridge, nicknamed their athletic teams the Raiders, in memory of Morgan’s men. Also, a large mural in the town depicts Morgan. Trimble County High School, in Bedford, Kentucky, also nicknamed their athletic teams the Raiders in memory of Morgan’s men. A John Hunt Morgan Memorial statue in Lexington memorializes him. The statue was relocated from the courthouse lawn in July 2018, where slave auctions were held. It was subsequently relegated to the Confederate section of the Lexington Cemetery.[17] The Hunt-Morgan House, once his home, is a contributing property in a historic district in Lexington. The John Hunt Morgan Bridge on East Main Street/U.S. Route 11 in Abingdon, Virginia, is named after him. The John Hunt Morgan Bridge on South Main Street/U.S. Route 27 in Cynthiana, Kentucky, is named after him. The General Morgan Inn, located at the spot he was killed in Greeneville, Tennessee, is named after him. A Kentucky Army National Guard Field Artillery battalion, the 1st BN 623d FA (HIMARS) with headquarters in Glasgow, Kentucky, are known as Morgan’s Men. A statue was erected in Pomeroy, Ohio, for his effect on the town and its people.[1
