On July 17, 1862, Brig. Gen. A. R. Johnson and 30 CSA raiders took the city, capturing 50 guns, hospital supplies, and commissary stores, then raided Newburg, Ind., and returned to Henderson. The threat of Morgan's Raiders prevented USA headquarters at Louisville from sending relief. On July 22, troops arrived here from Evansville, Ind., but CSA troops had abandoned the area.
