First Sharp Shooters
One officer remarked: "We could have whipped you'uns in ten minutes. " Thus was one Indiana town saved from the notorious marauder. DeLand pushed on the next day, the 14th, to Pierceville and there had more skirmishing with the rear guard of Morgan, whom they followed on foot in the night about 28 miles to Summan Station, on the railroad to Cincinnati, where the pursuit ended, Morgan having made good his escape into Ohio.
Subsequently the regiment returned to Dearborn, where it continued to recruit until its organization was completed with ten companies.
