Norwalk in Southern Victory
Norwalk was the last town of any size south of Sandusky. General Abner Dowling made his headquarters here during the U.S. retreat as a result of Operation Blackbeard.

Colonel Irving Morrell visited him here to try to get more barrels to stage a counter-attack but was unsuccessful as Dowling didn't have any to give him. Part of the problem was Confederate bombing and sabotage which delayed rail delivery. Morrell suggested that the barrels be driven down from Pontiac to avoid the bottlenecks. Dowling agreed to try it.
