Q: What was the northernmost point in Union territory to be raided by Confederates?

I think Morgan's Raid was the northenmost true penetration if I remember but there's a little trivial Vermont action by some canadian prisoners called St Alban's raid. Were you looking for these/

Hollywood made a movie about the St Albans' raid in the '50s or '60s. Typical cleaned-up family entertainment of that period . . . sparkling clean reb uniforms, and no blood on the wounds, etc.

Wasn't there a naval battle in the Bering sea of some sort? Wasn't one of the Reb commerce raiders striking the whaling fleet there when it got caught by a Union warship or am I just imagining it?
