County to Honor General Garnett
West Virginia funds a Tucker County memorial to Confederate General Robert S. Garnett, one of the Civil War’s first generals killed at Carrick’s Ford. The marker also honors State Senator Abraham Lincoln Helmick, who championed the project after two decades in the Senate and a long study of Garnett’s death. Helmick’s father fought with Garnett in 1861, and Tucker County historian Hu Maxwell offered a more dramatic Garne tt death account in his writings.
