When Virginia seceded from the United States in 1861, its western
counties showed very little popular support for the Confederacy,
and loyalist bands of bushwhackers, partisans and guerillas drove
most Southern sympathizers from the region. Most inconvenient for
the Confederacy was the fact that these counties (which later would
become West Virginia) housed the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which
connected Washington with the Midwest's vast wealth of manpower and
supplies. This work covers the Confederacy's 1863 attempt to invade
West Virginia and destroy the critical B&O line. Rich with oral
history, the book gives a detailed, personal account of the
ultimately unsuccessful Jones-Imboden Raid.
