Dates to be announced (Late June of 09):
No real information at this time. They are planning to do this event on the actual property, and as can be atested to by any of the gentlemen that attended the event at McDowell in 2003, the area is as pristine a Civil War battlefield as there is still in existence. As always, when information becomes available, I shall share it. This will be an early war event - meaning civilian coats, commutation jackets and battleshirts will probably be the norm. But as usual, wait for the guidelines. I have added an idea as to what happened there below:
In December, Confederate forces under Col. Edward Johnson occupied the summit of Allegheny Mountain to defend the Staunton-Parkersburg Pike. A Union force under Brig. Gen. Robert Milroy attacked Johnson on December 13. Fighting continued for much of the morning as each side maneuvered to gain the advantage. Finally, Milroy’s troops were repulsed, and he retreated to his camps near Cheat Mountain. At year’s end, Edward Johnson remained at Camp Allegheny with five regiments, and Henry Heth was at Lewisburg with two regiments.
