In Response To: Re: John Hunt Morgan ()

Right - Morgan and some of his officers were put in the Ohio State Penitentiary in Columbus after the Great Raid, which they considered an insult as being treated as common convicts, but the living conditions there were MUCH better than any POW camp, and it was eventually easier to escape from. Morgan and a few other officers tunneled into an air shaft that ran under their cells, and got out through a foundation wall.
