July 1863 CE

Morgan soon surprises and captures the garrison at Lebanon.

He traps four hundred men from the 20th Kentucky in the town's railroad depot, but the well-fortified building provides considerable protection.

In a sharp six-hour fight on July 5, Federal troops kill Morgan's youngest brother Thomas during the final charge.

Morgan finally captures and paroles the Federal troops.
