Summary

Description
English: During the American Civil War, the Union made some raids on the Confederate Virginia & Tennessee Railroad during May 1864. After their raids on the Virginia & Tennessee Railroad that resulted in the Battle of Cove Mountain and the Battle of Cloyd's Mountain, Union leaders George Crook and William W. Averell rejoined their commands at the community of Union, West Virginia.
Date
Source This is a crop of an 1861 map created by O.N. Snow & Co. The entire map can be found in the Library of Congress here, and shows Virginia, Delaware, Maryland & West Virginia. Text box and blue and red labels were added by TwoScarsUp based on descriptions in the book Lee's Endangered Left by Richard R. Duncan. Because this map was originally created in 1861, it does not show Bland County—which was created in 1861 from portions of Wythe, Tazewell, and Giles counties.
