We have five battles on this week's episode starting off on July 19th, 1863 with the battle of Buffington Island where Morgan's raid is continuing, and it was also the largest battle in Ohio during the war. Next, Lee continues his retreat from Gettysburg at Manassas Gap on July 23rd as the Union tries to prevent Lee from passing the gap. The battles of Big Mound and Dead Buffalo Lake were fought between Union and Indian forces with the battle of Big Mound consisting of the largest forces ever assembled to fight the Indians. Finally, at Salineville on July 26th, John Hunt Morgan's raid finally comes to an end. This is farthest north a Confederate States Army force saw action.
