Confederate Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan and his Raiders planned to invade Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio in the summer of 1863. In what would become the United States' longest non-stop ride of a division of horsemen in enemy territory, Morgan led his cavalrymen into Hamilton County, Ohio, via the city of Harrison. The Ohio (Hamilton County) invasion occurred on July 13-14, 1864. Morgan and his Raiders fought a minor skirmish at Miamitown and crossed over the Great Miami River at New Baltimore into Colerain. Morgan and his Raiders traveled eastbound towards the Federal army's Camp Dennison at Germany, Ohio. A small skirmish erupted near Miamiville in Clermont County just north of Camp Dennison.
