July 1863 CE

John Hunt Morgan, hoping to disrupt Union communication lines, has ridden into Kentucky, where admiring citizens had openly welcomed his cavalrymen on July 2.

Crossing the rain-swollen Cumberland River at Burkesville, Morgan's division had advanced to the Green River, where it is deflected by half of a Union regiment (the 25th Michigan Infantry) at the Battle of Tebbs Bend on July 4.
