Short, but good

This book details what is often known as the only other battle, besides Gettysburg, fought on Northern soil: Corydon. Conway does a great job describing the battle. The problem is that this battle was just big enough to be called a battle, as Morgan's 2500 men fought 400 Home Guards. That is why the book is forced to cover much of Morgan's Raid, and not just the battle itself. The book's only weakness is how little its subject matter is, an better overviews of Morgan's entire Ohio Raid are done in far more detail in other books.
