  • The Battle of Buffington Island, also known as the St. Georges Creek Skirmish, was an American Civil War engagement in Meigs County, Ohio, on July 19, 1863, during Morgan's Raid. The largest battle in Ohio during the war, Buffington Island contributed to the capture of the famed Confederate cavalry raider, Brig. Gen. John Hunt Morgan, who was seeking to escape Union army pursuers across the Ohio River at a ford opposite Buffington Island. Delayed overnight, Morgan was almost surrounded by Federal cavalry the next day, and the resulting battle ended in a Confederate rout, with over half of the 1,700-man Confederate force being captured. General Morgan and some 700 men escaped, but the daring raid finally ended on July 26 with his surrender after the Battle of Salineville. Morgan's Raid was of little military consequence, but it did spread terror among much of the population of southern and eastern Ohio, as well as neighboring Indiana.
  • バッフィントン島の戦い(バッフィントンとうのたたかい、英:Battle of Buffington Island、またはセントジョージズクリークの小戦闘、英:St. Georges Creek Skirmish)は、南北戦争のモーガンの襲撃中の1863年7月19日に、オハイオ州メグス郡で起こった戦闘である。この戦いは南北戦争中のオハイオ州では最も大きな戦闘であり、有名な南軍ジョン・ハント・モーガン准将の騎兵襲撃隊がバッフィントン島の対岸にある浅瀬でオハイオ川を渉って北軍の追跡から逃れようとしていたが果たせず、その後の捕獲に繋がることになった。 モーガンは夜通し行軍が遅くなり、翌日にはほとんど北軍騎兵隊に包囲されそうになって、その結果として起こった戦闘では南軍側の壊走ということになり、1,700名の部隊の半数以上が捕まった。モーガン将軍と700名程は一旦逃亡したが、この大胆な襲撃は7月26日のセイリーンビルの戦いに続くモーガンの降伏で終わった。モーガンの襲撃は軍事的にはほとんど結果を残さなかったが、オハイオ州南部と東部、さらには隣のインディアナ州の多くの大衆に恐怖を広げた。
