Summary
| Description |
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. This avoided possible Confederate troops at Coalsmouth, and the the cannon fire from Confederate troops on the south side of the Kanawha River. |
