Morgan's Confederate horsemen attacked Union soldiers at Tebbs Bend in Taylor County on July 4, 1863. As it was Independence Day, the Union commander refused to surrender and instead repulsed multiple Confederate attacks. After the fight, Morgan's men rode to Lebanon, where they defeated Union soldiers there, and then traveled into Indiana and Ohio where many of them were captured and imprisoned.
