Confederate General John Hunt Morgan (1825-1864) is likely Kentucky’s most well-known Civil War figure. He raided Kentucky July 1862 and June 1864. But he is famous for Morgan’s Raid July 1863 where—raided into Indiana and Ohio. I am not glorifying him—he was a secessionist and wealthy slaveowner—he figures negatively into the family histories of 3 of my grandparents. But he had guts aplenty—that part of him I admire. (More about him another day)
