Book Description
"After Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan was captured on July 26, 1863 twenty two Union Army Officers and one Union Navy Officer filed official reports describing their participation in the effort to defeat and capture General Morgan during his July 1863 Indiana-Ohio Raid. We will be able to read those reports, the report of Confederate Major General Joseph Wheeler describing the instructions he gave General Morgan before he left on his July 1863 raid and four unofficial Confederate Officer descriptions of the Indiana-Ohio Raid. Keep in mind that each officer is beating his own drum. It is natural for anyone to downplay or forget his mistakes and emphasize his successes. Enemy troop strength is frequently exaggerated. The reports do contain additional errors"--Provided by publisher.
