A second attempt at crossing twenty miles…

July 1863 CE

A second attempt at crossing twenty miles (thirty-two kilometers) upriver (opposite Belleville, West Virginia) also fails, with several of Morgan's men drowning in the swirling river as the gunboats and Union cavalry again drive off the raiders.

Colonel Adam "Stovepipe" Johnson and over three hundred raiders do escape into West Virginia and safety, but General Morgan chooses to remain on the Ohio side with the rest of his dwindling force.
