To start off the website we will start with a local battle on my birthday June 3. The battle of Philippi, WV hear are some details.
The first land battle was in fact in Philippi, WV
The Union men led by Thomas A. Morris had 3,000 soldiers going into the battle and came out winning, with 4 men wounded and killed.
The Confederacy men led by George A. Porterfield had 800 soldiers going into the battle and came out with 26 men wounded and killed.
The death count wasn't high but was a horrendous fight
