		John Hunt Morgan (June 1, 1825 – September 4, 1864) was a Confederate general and cavalry officer in the American Civil War.
		Morgan was born in Huntsville, Alabama, and quickly advanced through the ranks once the war began.
		Although Morgan's Raid was breathlessly followed by the Northern and Southern press at the time and caused the Union leadership considerable consternation, most historians now consider it to have been little more than a showy but ultimately futile sidelight to the war.

		Morgan was born in 1866 in Lexington, Kentucky, nephew of the flamboyant General John Hunt Morgan who was nicknamed "The Thunderbolt of the Confederacy" for his swashbuckling exploits during the Civil War.
		Morgan often jokingly said that he did three kinds of experiments: those that were foolish, those that were damn foolish, and those that were worse than that.
		As testament to his humility, Morgan reversed his position on Mendelian principles, and in 1915 with his students A. Sturtevant, H. Muller, and C. Bridges, produced the fundamental genetics textbook The Mechanism of Mendelian Heredity, reconciling all of genetics to the physical array of genes on chromosomes and to the behavior of chromosomes.

		To Morgan this was too reminiscent of the preformation theory--the idea that the fully formed adult is present in the egg or sperm--that had dominated embryology in the 18th and early 19th centuries.
		In 1924 Morgan received the Darwin Medal; in 1933 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for his discovery of "hereditary transmission mechanisms in Drosophila"; and in 1939 he was awarded the Copley Medal by the Royal Society of London, of which he was a foreign member.

		Morgan had gotten the approval from Bragg to attack Louisville, but, knowing such a scheme would never be approved, he failed to mention that his plans included the crossing of the Ohio River.
		Unfortunately, Morgan's overconfidence kept him from using his scouts as he typically used them, and the summer rains had caused the Ohio River to rise, which impeded his crossing and allowed Union gunboats to help prevent his escape, and to make matters worse, Lee was having problems of his own in Gettysburg.
