July 1863 CE

Morgan had sent spy Thomas Hines and a party of twenty-five Confederates (posing as a Union patrol) on a secret mission into Indiana in June to determine if the local Copperheads would support or join Morgan's impending raid.

After visiting the local Copperhead leader, Dr. William A. Bowles, Hines had learned that no desired support would be forthcoming.

He and his scouts had soon been identified as actually being Confederates, and, in a small skirmish near Leavenworth, Indiana, Hines had had to abandon his men as he swims across the Ohio River under gunfire.

He has wandered around Kentucky for a week seeking information on Morgan's whereabouts.
