Today in Wheeling History: July 28--Eight injured members of Major General John Hunt Morgan's Confederate cavalry were transported to Wheeling and cared for at the Atheneum (1863).
​
Eight of Morgan's Raiders men, who sustained injuries during the recent altercation near Salineville, Ohio, have been brought to the city and are currently held at the Atheneum. Their names and residences are as follows: Wm. H. Young from Harrison County, Kentucky; S. R. Shaw from Richmond, Kentucky; Wm. Meyers from Jassamine County, Kentucky; James Cardwell from Shelby County, Kentucky; J. C. Slaughter from Nelson County, Kentucky; Chas. C. Johnson, Wm. Burot, and Martin Dethridge from Warren County, along with J. L. Walton from Obine County, Tennessee.

Some of the men are in critical condition due to their wounds. Additionally, approximately fifteen more of Morgan's men are being held in the prison. They have raised concerns about the conditions in the room where their wounded comrades are confined, noting that it is uncomfortably hot and unclean. Plans are underway to transfer the wounded to a hospital for proper medical attention as soon as possible.
