Summary
| Description |
English: This map shows the route of Union Colonel Joseph A. J. Lightburn's retreat from Charleston in the Kanawha Valley Campaign of 1862 during the American Civil War. Lightburn took a route to Ripley and Ravenswood to get to Ohio, and then moved to Point Pleasant. By not using the direct route (dashed blue line), he avoided possible Confederate troops (Jenkins) at Coalsmouth, and the artillery of Confederate Brigadier General John S. Williams who could follow along on the south side of the Kanawha River. Confederate Colonel John McCausland was prevented from the pursuit by the destruction of a bridge across the Elk River at Charleston. |
