The Gauntlet
—John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail —
Upon approaching the road to Pomeroy just before noon on July 18, 1863, Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan and his Confederate raiders faced a major challenge. Colonel Adam Johnson's detachment, which had been sent south to investigate a river crossing at Middleport, were briefly engaged in a skirmish with Union forces at Bradbury Hill. Morgan assisted Johnson, consolidated his forces, and turned north.UTM (WGS84 Datum) | 17S E 410168 N 4323076 |
