Summary

Description
English: Map describes the situation in May 1862 in southwestern Virginia during the American Civil War. Cox had two of his three brigades near Princeton, and hoped to attack the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad. His Third Brigade, commanded by Colonel George Crook, was near Lewisburg and planned an attack on the Virginia Central Railroad further east. A Confederate regional headquarters was located at the Dublin railroad depot in Newbern (misspelled as "Newbert" on the map).
