Geocache Description:

SHOULD BE A PARK-N-GRAB. YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A MATCH CONTAINER AT A HISTORY MARKER. THERE IS PARKING AT THE CACHE SITE.

After plundering Salem and becoming aware of his pursuers, Morgan turned to the east and began to parallel the Ohio River. He entered Lexington, Indiana, at dusk July 10. Morgan was referred to as the "King of the Horse Thieves" as his men frequently obtained new mounts. The raiders started early the next day toward Paris and Vernon, Indiana, realizing that their enemies were not far behind and also, probably, in their front.

At Vernon, for the first time, the raiders were turned back. The Home Guard had taken up a strong position at Vernon on a bluff overlooking the Muscatatuck River. Morgan turned southeast toward Dupont, destroying bridges along the way. The raiders would spend the "night" in Dupont, encamping at midnight and leaving at 3 a.m. Morgan's rear guard, however, did not get away until 8 a.m. Hobson's men arrived in Dupont five hours later. the vise was closing on Morgan.
