On July 7, 1863, Morgan’s CSA cavalry arrived here and captured the steamers JOHN B. MCCOMBS and ALICE DEAN. The next day they began crossing the river. Indiana militia fired on them but fled under return fire. ALICE DEAN was burned after the crossing. Morgan continued on to northeastern Ohio, where he surrendered on July 26. Imprisoned at Columbus, Ohio, he escaped on Nov. 24 and returned south.
