About This Item
Lexington: The University Press of Kentucky Book. VG+. Soft cover. (1986), 306pp, index, five maps, sixteen pages of illustrations. Wrps. VG+. From the preface: "The purpose of this book is to describe the life and career of John Hunt Morgan and to evaluate his role in the Civil War. I find it intriguing that even though Morgan harassed the Union for almost thee years and won the adoration of thE Southern people, historians have dismissed him as a romantic figure who made little impact on the war. I asked, why did Morgan succeed so greatly as a leader early in the war, then decline so dramatically? Why did he risk the raid in Indiana and Ohio? Why was he the only member of his staff harmed in the skirmish that took his life? In searching for answers I have endeavored to describe what happened in Morgan's life, but I have gone beyond the facts to interpret and explain.".
