Battle of Carnifex Ferry marked Confederate Kanawha defense
West Virginia's Carnifex Ferry battle on September 10 1861 pitted Floyd's Confederate Kanawha forces against Rosecrans's Union troops near Summersville. Despite heavy losses for the 10th and 12th Ohio and others, Floyd's defense held the line and the Federals withdrew at dusk. Rosecrans later called it a costly Confederate victory. The field later became Carnifex Ferry Battlefield State Park.
