One of the astonishing raids made while the War for Southern In- dependence was underway was the one made at Mount Sterling, Ken- tucky. The federals has positioned a federal garrison there for the express purpose of defending and guarding the general area. On the 8th of June in 1864 the Confederate raider John Hunt Mor- gan captures this Mount Sterling union garrison. The union force is completely caught off guard. During this raid the Confederates help themselves to $18000 from a local bank. This money will go to assist their southern cause in the coming months. IF anyone has any other facts on this raid, please feel free to post them to our list.
