Thanks for sharing, I love family history stories like that. During the Civil War, some Confederate cavalry under Col. John Hunt Morgan invaded Indiana and Ohio. During what became known as Morgan’s Raid some Confederate soldiers camped out on my ancestors farm. They were generally well behaved, but they did help themselves to the smokehouse, according to family tradition. Col. Morgan would be captured, escape and return to duty, and then be killed in combat before the war ended.
