The raid on March 10, 1865 was the only Civil War military action in Marion County. Misrepresented and inaccurately portrayed, this risky raid came only weeks before the war's end. A unit of mostly Black combatants, led by a Black Sergeant Major, traveled 100 miles behind enemy lines to conduct the raid, and then had to walk 80 miles to safety, knowing that a crack Confederate cavalry unit would be hot on their trail. A gripping adventure awaits.
