Mahlon Dickerson Manson letters, 1863 April - July.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/434502495

Collection of seven telegrams and five dispatches addressed to Brigadier General Mahlon Dickerson Manson, concerning the movements of Confederate General John Hunt Morgan. All present a detailed account of Morgan's course through Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio during his most significant raid. The dispatches detail the relentless pursuit of his troops by Union forces under Manson and General Edward Henry Hobson. Of particular interest is a telegram dated 11 May 1863, which provides a description of a skirmish between Morgan's cavalry and Union forces under Colonel Richard T. Jacob at the Mouth of Greasy Creek.
