With a flare in his eye and a burning ambition in his soul this "Great Raider" struck fear into the hearts of his enemies. Perhaps the bravest man in all the South, Morgan took a small cavalry force into the North and wreaked havoc all over 2 states until he was captured and thrown into the Ohio State Penitentiary in Columbus. There he sat for many months until, as fate would have it, the night his wife had their baby. Then he and 5 Captains of his unit escaped by digging a tunnel underneath the Pen walls. He made it back South by narrowly escaping Yankee patrols. He would ride on terrorizing for another year until September 4th 1864. When he was ambushed in Greenville Tenn . In good order, Morgan drew his two Colt army Revolvers and stormed out of the house he had been staying. Still in his bed clothes Morgan was brutally murdered after trying to surrender.
