  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. This work covers the Confederacy's 1863 attempt to invade West Virginia and destroy the critical B&O line.
