John Hunt Morgan (June 1, 1825 – September 4, 1864) is a Confederate general and cavalry officer in the American Civil War.

Morgan is best known for Morgan's Raid when, in 1863, he and his men ride over 1,000 miles covering a region from Tennessee, up through Kentucky, into Indiana and on to southern Ohio.

This is the farthest north any uniformed Confederate troops penetrates during the war.
