How did a desperate Confederate retreat turn into one of the muddiest, messiest, and most chaotic cavalry clashes of the Civil War?
Why was John Hunt Morgan galloping through Indiana like a lost outlaw in a bad Western?
And what in the world was J.E.B. Stuart doing while Lee’s battered army scrambled for safety?

The summer of 1863 was a nightmare for the Confederacy. Fresh off their disastrous defeat at Gettysburg, Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia was in full retreat, slogging through the muddy roads of Maryland and Pennsylvania, trying to escape before the Union could trap them against the rising waters of the Potomac River. Meanwhile, Union cavalry commanders like John Buford and Judson Kilpatrick were sniffing blood in the water, determined to cut off Lee’s escape and finish the job.

But this wasn’t just a simple chase—it was a wild, high-stakes chess match on horseback, filled with ambushes, blunders, last stands, and enough mud to make a pig farmer blush. From Boonsboro to Funkstown to Falling Waters, the Union and Confederate cavalry clashed in a whirlwind of saber charges, gun smoke, and sheer chaos.

And just when you think things couldn't get any crazier—John Hunt Morgan decided to go on a joyride through Indiana and Ohio, leading the Union cavalry on the most ridiculous, unnecessary, and doomed raid of the war!

How did Lee escape? Why did Morgan think raiding Indiana was a good idea? And how did an overconfident Confederate raider go from stealing horses to sitting in a Union jail cell?

Buckle up—because this is the greatest Civil War chase story ever told!
