Summary
| Description |
English: This map shows the route of Union Colonel Joseph A. J. Lightburn's retreat from Charleston in the Kanawha Valley Campaign of 1862 during the American Civil War. Lightburn took a route to Ripley and Ravenswood to get to Ohio, and then moved to Point Pleasant. This avoided possible Confederate troops at Coalsmouth, and the cannon fire from Confederate troops on the south side of the Kanawha River. |

| Source | This is a crop from Johnson's Virginia, Delaware, Maryland & Virginia map published in 1864. It can be found in the U.S. Library of Congress here. Labels and highlighting have been added by TwoScarsUp based on the book named "The Battle of Charleston and the 1862 Kanawha Valley Campaign" by Terry Lowry. Chapter 8 (beginning on page 239) discusses the retreat from Charleston to the Ohio River. Pages 208 and 209 discuss Lightburn's decision to take the Ripley Road north instead of the direct route to Point Pleasant. |
