After crossing into Indiana, Morgan's two brigades of cavalry and accompanying horse artillery, numbering around 2,400 men, marched through south-eastern Indiana, skirmishing with local home guards and destroying railroad equipment, bridges, and military stores.  Morgan indulged his men as they looted the small town of Salem, Indiana during the middle of this day.  They then burned the Louisville, New Albany, and Chicago Railroad Depot before moving on in the afternoon to Vienna, Indiana, in Scott County.  (By John Osborne)

After the surrender of the Confederate bastion at Vicksburg, the opening of the Mississippi swiftly continued with the occupation of Natchez, Mississippi, about fifty miles further south on the river.  A Union brigade under Brigadier-General Thomas E.G. Ransom landed in the afternoon and received a surprisingly hospitable reception from the wealthy planters in the area. Notably, little destruction of property took place. (By John Osborne)
