Letter From the Camp in Charneston Virginia 1862
In Charleston in August 1862 a correspondent recounts Civil War actions near Chapmansville and Camp Russell. Major Hall’s detachment of 30 men was ambushed by 200 Confederate cavalry near McDowell County. Major Gall was mortally wounded, brave resistance by 35 men tied to three remaining guns, and 3 killed with 8 wounded including Captains Witcher and Stratton. Absent relief, the unit retreated to woods. prisoners held by rebels feared a future attack on Camp Russell.
