---End of Morgan’s Raid:
Pursued by several Federal columns, and close to getting pinned, Morgan
rides his men toward New Lisbon and finds his way blocked by militia. He demands their surrender; they in turn
demand it of him. He surrenders
officially to a Capt. Burbick, a militia officer who had been Morgan’s
prisoner. Burbick paroles Morgan, but
Gen. Shackleford soon arrives and makes Morgan and his 700 men prisoners, and
remands them to the custody of the Ohio State Penitentiary.
