Morgan's Troops Ate Breakfast Here

Jefferson Co.  Historical Society

Per a National Park Service document:

July 11, 1863: Vernon, Indiana

Upon leaving Lexington, Morgan turned his column north, following the railroad to Vernon. The
column stopped in Paris briefly, to rest and fill their canteens.

 Morgan knew he did not have time to fight a battle at Vernon. While the militia emptied the town of women and children, Morgan’s men turned south.

July 12, 1863: Dupont, Indiana
The Confederates arrived in Dupont about midnight. The town was on the Madison and
Indianapolis Railroad and Morgan took this opportunity to wreck it. He sent detachments to burn the trestles over Big Creek about one mile south of Dupont and the trestle over Graham’s Fork.  The Confederates in town cut telegraph wires, burned a water tower, the Dupont depot and twelve railroad cars, and took 2,000 hams from a local meat-packing house. Leaving the ruined remains of Dupont behind, Morgan’s cavalry turned east.

Morgan’s command spent the night near Sunman.
