From August to October 1861, about
17,000 Union and Confederate troops
operated near the Sewell Mountain
area. Waiting for a major battle
that never came, many soldiers died
of disease caused by foul weather.
Excessive rainfall hampered the
long supply lines of both sides
and ultimately forced Union Gen.
Rosecrans to withdraw his troops
back toward the Kanawha Valley.
