The Daily Dispatch: July 24, 1863., [Electronic resource], The raid on Wytheville. (search)
opping a raid. The raiding party, consisting of the 2d West Virginia cavalry and a portion of two other regiments, reached Wytheville a while before sundown on Saturday evening by the Tazewell Court House road. The force was under command of Col. Toland, the officer who commanded at the battle of Fayette Court-House last fall. In the meantime a force consisting of one hundred and twenty men, mostly citizens and conscripts, hastily gathered up at Dublin and Newbern, under command of Col. Bowyr loudest. This greatly alarmed the Yankees, who thought the cars had brought large reinforcements, and they thereupon skedaddled at a rapid rate on the same route they had come. The result of this fight was that the raiders lost a Colonel (Toland), Major, and had another Colonel (Powell) mortally wounded; also, one Captain and Lieutenant killed, and seven privates and some 25 or 39 more wounded. Eighty horses were killed and wounded. Our loss was Capt. Oliver and two conscripts killed.
