Corydon Cannon
If only artifacts could talk, this little cannon would have quite an adventure to tell. On his way to invade the Union through Indiana, Confederate General John Hunt Morgan took the cannon from a Kentucky farmer. David Buchanon, Curator of Decorative Objects and Furniture, tells what we know of the cannon's wild ride that eventurally landed it in the Indiana State Museum.
Tebbs Bend Battlefield
The Tebb's Bend Battlefield (Green River Bridge), a National Register site, is a 3-mile long loop road (Old Cambellsville-Columbia Turnpike) that contains 12 stops, 10 of which have wayside interpretive exhibits. It was here that in July 1863, an outnumbered Federal force defeated that of Confederate Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan. The loop includes a 25th Michigan campsite, Federal hospital site, iron bridge over Green River, Federal stockade site, main battle site, artillery site and Confederate Monument and Cemetery. Also included is the Atkinson-Griffin Log House-Confederate Hospital Museum inside of which is a diorama of the battle, Federal and Confederate uniforms, Morgan's Men photographic exhibit, photos of the 25th Michigan and a display of local Civil War history.
Gen. John Hunt Morgan's Great Ohio Raid Part 2
Part 2 of this documentary was produced by ESV Teleproductions in 1988. It was part of the 125th Anniversary of the American Civil War. It tells the story of Confederate general John Hunt Morgan and his cavalry raid into Indiana and Ohio in July of 1863. We videotaped most of this in Corydon, Indiana during the summer of 1988. That summer was an exceptional year. The temperature on the battlefield that day was in excess of 107ºF causing many difficulties in shooting as well as to the re-enacters, many of whom succumbed to heat problems. We videotaped this on 3/4 U-Matic tape. There was some deterioration of the tape but we have up-converted the master to H.D. using a MOTU V4HD conversion system.
Fighting Regiments of War of Rights - 14th Indiana “Gallant Fourteenth”
The 14th Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment, also referred as the Gallant Fourteenth, was raised in Western Indiana and organized at Terre Haute on May 5, 1861. They would enter federal service on June 7 for three years, the first of Indiana regiments to do so. The regiment would be under the Command of Colonel Nathan Kimball. They would first see combat at the Battle of Cheat Mountain. Then regiment would oppose Jackson during his valley campaign then would join up with the Army of the Potomac for the Maryland Campaign.
During the Maryland Campaign, the 14th would be a part of Kimball’s Independent Brigade, attached to French’s Division of Sumner’s II Corps and would be led by Colonel William Harrow.
The 14th would be held in reserve for the Battle of South mountain. At the battle of Antietam 3 days later, the 14th would join in the third assault against the sunken road. The 14th would hold their ground against confederate small arms fire, taking a lot of damage but also delivering damage too. After receiving support from Richardson on their brigade’s left flank, the 14th was able to gain the bloody lane after the confederates fled. For their actions in the contest for the lane, Kimball’s brigade would receive the name of the “Gibraltar Brigade” for their defiant stand. In the course of the battle, the 14th would lose 181 out of their 320 engaged.
Currently, you can find the 14th Indiana Infantry Regiment on the map of Roulette Lane.

Incidents of Morgan's Raid with an Account of Stovepipe Johnson's Retreat through West Virginia 1
On Tuesday, September 2, 2014, Brian Stuart Kesterson presented “Incidents of Morgan’s Raid with an Account of Stovepipe Johnson’s Retreat through West Virginia” in the Archives and History Library in the Culture Center in Charleston.
Kesterson focused on the ill-fated 1863 raid of General John Hunt Morgan and Colonel Adam Rankin “Stovepipe” Johnson’s retreat through West Virginia. Several years ago, he traveled over roads and lanes that Col. Johnson and his 300 retreating Confederate cavalrymen traveled. The remoteness of the retreat route largely factored in the preservation of a substantial part of the route, according to Kesterson. “Some of these roads were little better than wagon paths and they have changed very little since the time of the Civil War. About 90% of Johnson’s original retreat route still exists, which is amazing to think about since he and his men retreated over eight counties in West Virginia and two counties in Virginia.”
A native of Wood County, Brian Kesterson received a bachelor’s degree from Marietta College and his teaching certification and master’s degree in education from Ohio Valley College. He currently is a history teacher at Parkersburg High School. He also is a member of the 6th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, which has provided living history, boot camp programs for the school children of West Virginia and Ohio since 1990, and serves as chief musician/bugler for the general staff of the United States Volunteer Infantry.
Kesterson appeared in the in the movie The Patriot (2000) as a special abilities re-enactor for the Revolutionary War time period and has appeared in documentaries on Civil War and other historical topics. He is the author of The Last Survivor: The Memoirs of George William Watson, A Horse Soldier in the 12th Virginia Cavalry (1993); Campaigning with the 17th Virginia Cavalry Night Hawks at Monocacy (2005); Dear Sir . . . Dear Miss . . .: The Letters of Granville B. Mann, Company A, 30th Battalion Virginia Sharpshooters & Miss Lucinda Maria Virginia (Chandler) Mann (2007); and Incidents of Morgan’s Raid with an Account of Stovepipe Johnson’s Retreat through West Virginia (2013).

My Tribute To Daniel McCook On The 150th Anniversary Of His Passing
It is July 21, 2013 and the American Civil War Sesquicentennial continues. On this day 150 years ago, Daniel McCook, of the Fighting McCooks, passed away. He was wounded two days prior near Buffington Island, Ohio during Morgan's Raid involving Confederate General John Hunt Morgan. Daniel McCook had twelve children ... three daughters and nine sons. All nine sons signed up with the Union Army and three of those sons died in combat. His brother and a number of his brother's sons were involved in the conflict as well.
It is very important for me to point out that Daniel McCook was 65 years of age when he was killed in combat ... certainly way above the average age of someone involved with the conflict. He was a Major and Paymaster and he was specifically given the role of Paymaster due to his age.
This video is my personal tribute to Daniel McCook ... a man who gave his life for a cause that he believed in.
In this video, I am holding a Court Of Common Pleas document that dates to the year 1840 and was signed by Daniel McCook.

SUMMARY
=======
Morgan's Raid was a diversionary incursion by Confederate cavalry into the northern U.S. states of Indiana and Ohio during the American Civil War. The raid took place from June 11–July 26, 1863, and is named for the commander of the Confederates, Brig. Gen. John Hunt Morgan. Although it caused temporary alarm in the North, the raid was ultimately classed as a failure.
The raid covered more than 1,000 miles (1,600 km), beginning in Tennessee and ending in northern Ohio. It coincided with the Vicksburg Campaign and the Gettysburg Campaign, and it was meant to draw U.S. troops away from these fronts by frightening the North into demanding their troops return home. Despite his initial successes, Morgan was thwarted in his attempts to recross the Ohio River and eventually was forced to surrender what remained of his command in northeastern Ohio near the Pennsylvania border. Morgan and other senior officers were kept in the Ohio state penitentiary, but they tunneled their way out and took a train to Cincinnati, where they crossed the Ohio River to safety.

It consists of the Indiana Army National Guard and the Indiana Air National Guard, and is part of the larger Army National Guard and the Air National Guard. With roots dating back to 1801, the origination of the guard was first began in 1846 during the Mexican–American War, and was reorganized into its current configuration in 1903. Since then the guard has served at home and abroad as a part of multiple wars, disaster relief actions, and putting down strikes and riots.
The Indiana National Guard consists of the 14,000 strong. Major commands include 81st Troop Command, 38th Infantry Division Cyclone, 38th Aviation Brigade, 38th Sustainment Brigade, 76th Infantry Brigade (United States)Night Hawk, 219th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade, to include the Indiana Air National Guard's 122nd Fighter Wing and 181st Intelligence Wing.
The Indiana National Guard is supported by the state's military defense force, the Indiana Guard Reserve, which is part of the Military Department of Indiana. The Indiana Guard Reserve is a supplemental military force authorized by both the State Code of Indiana and Executive Order. The Indiana Guard Reserve (IGR) assumes the state mission of the Indiana National Guard in the event the Guard is federally mobilized.. The IGR is subject solely to the orders of the Governor and is commanded by the Adjutant General of Indiana.The Constitution of the United States specifically charges the National Guard with dual federal and state missions. In fact, the National Guard is the only United States military force empowered to function in a state status. Those functions range from limited actions during non-emergency situations to full scale law enforcement of martial law when local law enforcement officials can no longer maintain civil control. The National Guard may be called into federal service in response to a call by the President or Congress.
When National Guard troops are called to federal service, the President serves as Commander-In-Chief. The federal mission assigned to the National Guard is: To provide properly trained and equipped units for prompt mobilization for war, National emergency or as otherwise needed.
The Governor may call individuals or units of the Indiana National Guard into state service during emergencies or to assist in special situations which lend themselves to use of the National Guard. The state mission assigned to the National Guard is:
To provide trained and disciplined forces for domestic emergencies or as otherwise provided by state law.

SUMMARY
=======
William Henry Harrison Sr. (February 9, 1773 – April 4, 1841) was an American military officer, politician, and the ninth President of the United States. He died of pneumonia thirty-one days into his term, thereby serving the shortest tenure in United States presidential history. Because he was the first president to die in office, his death sparked a constitutional crisis and questions and debates about the presidential line of succession.
Harrison was a son of Benjamin Harrison V, one of the Founding Fathers and the paternal grandfather of Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd President of the United States (1889–1893). He was the last president born as a British royal subject in the original Thirteen Colonies before the American Revolution started in 1775.
Harrison was the first member elected to the United States House of Representatives from the Northwest Territory, and later was the first Governor of the Indiana Territory. He famously led U.S. military and state militia forces against Native Americans at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, where he earned the nickname Old Tippecanoe. He was promoted to major general in the regular United States Army in the subsequent War of 1812 (1812-1815), and served in the Battle of the Thames in Canada the following year. After the war, Harrison moved to Ohio, where he was elected again to the House of Representatives. In 1824, the state legislature elected him to the United States Senate; his term was truncated by his appointment as Minister Plenipotentiary to Gran Colombia in May 1828.
Harrison returned to private life in Ohio until 1836, when he was nominated for the presidency as the Whig Party candidate in the election of that year; he was defeated by Democratic Vice President Martin Van Buren. In 1840, the Party nominated Harrison again, with John Tyler as his running mate. Harrison and Tyler, known famously as “Tippecanoe and Tyler Too”, defeated Van Buren in the 1840 election. Harrison was the oldest person to be president until Ronald Reagan in 1981 and later Donald Trump in 2017. Harrison died of pneumonia a month after taking office, and Tyler assumed the presidency, setting a major precedent in succession. Due to Harrison's brief time in office, scholars and historians often forgo listing this president in historical rankings.
