Raiding with Morgan is a historical book written by Byron A. Dunn. The book tells the story of General John Hunt Morgan and his cavalry raids during the American Civil War. It describes the daring and dangerous missions Morgan and his men undertook, including raids behind enemy lines and attacks on Union supply lines. The book also explores the personal lives of Morgan and his soldiers, including their relationships with each other and their families. Dunn uses primary sources, such as letters and diaries, to provide a vivid and detailed account of the raids and the people involved. Raiding with Morgan is a compelling read for anyone interested in the Civil War or military history.1913. From The Young Kentuckians Series. General John H. Morgan was one of the most picturesque figures in the Civil War, an officer without a peer in his chosen line. During the two years of his brilliant career he captured and paroled at least ten thousand Federal soldiers, and kept three times that number in the rear of the Federal army guarding communications. The adventures of Calhoun as a secret agent of the Knights of the Golden Circle opens up a portion of the history of the Civil War which may be almost unknown to our younger readers. During the war the whole North was honeycombed with secret societies, whose members denounced Lincoln as a usurper and a bloody monster, and maintained that the government had no right to coerce the South. They resisted the draft, encouraged desertions, and embarrassed the Federal Government in every way possible. In secret many of the leaders plotted armed rebellion, the liberation of Confederate prisoners, and the burning of Northern cities. They held out inducements to the South to invade the North, and there is but little doubt that Morgan was lured to his destruction by their representations.
