The Newburgh Raid was a successful raid by Confederate partisans on Newburgh, Indiana, on July 18, 1862, making it the first town in a northern state to be captured during the American Civil War. Confederate colonel Adam Rankin Johnson led the raid by using a force of only about 35 men he had recruited from nearby Henderson, Kentucky. They confiscated supplies and ammunition without a shot being fired by tricking Newburgh's defenders into thinking the town was surrounded by cannons. In reality, the so-called cannons were an assemblage of a stove pipe, a charred log, and wagon wheels, forever giving the Confederate commander the nickname of Adam "Stovepipe" Johnson.

  • Le raid de Newburgh est un raid réussi de partisans confédérés contre Newburgh, dans l'Indiana, le 18 juillet 1862, faisant d'elle la première ville d'un État du nord à être capturée pendant la guerre de Sécession. Le colonel confédéré Adam Rankin Johnson mène le raid en utilisant une force de seulement 35 hommes environ qu'il a recrutés à proximité d'Henderson, au Kentucky. Ils confisquent du matériel et des munitions sans un coup de feu en incitant les défenseurs de Newburgh à penser que la ville est entourée par des canons. En réalité, les soi-disant canons sont un assemblage de tuyaux de poêle, un rondin calciné, et des roues de chariot, immortalisant le surnom d'Adam « Stovepipe » (tuyau de poêle) Johnson au commandant confédéré.
