Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Raiding with Morgan" by Byron A. Dunn is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the Civil War, focusing on the exploits of General John H. Morgan, a Confederate officer known for his daring cavalry raids in the North. The narrative follows young Calhoun Pennington, who serves as a secret agent for Morgan and is embroiled in the perilous missions that aim to disrupt Union forces while recruiting more men for their cause. The opening portion introduces readers to the aftermath of the Battle of Shiloh, shedding light on the Southern perspective as characters grapple with the consequences of defeat. It features Colonel Morgan's contemplation of the strategic importance of reclaiming Kentucky and the role of his men, including Calhoun Pennington, who strives to gather reinforcements. As the narrative unfolds, Calhoun's escapades and interactions with both Confederate and Union characters, including an anti-heroic cousin, set the stage for the dramatic tensions and challenges that will be explored throughout the book. The strong themes of honor, loyalty, and the complexity of familial ties during wartime are evident even from the start, promising an engaging journey through a fraught historical landscape.
