Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Documents and Narratives, Volume 2. (ed. Frank Moore), Doc. 199.-skirmish at Hawk's Nest, Va., August 20, 1861. (search)
th Ohio regiment had erected barricades, and were driven back with a loss of fifty killed and a number wounded and taken prisoners. Our loss was only two slightly wounded and one missing. Our forces captured quite a number of horses and equipments. I have just returned from General Wise's command, having left there on the night of the 20th, and after the skirmish was over. Our forces consisted of parts of three cavalry companies, amounting to about one hundred men, and the enemy numbered at least six hundred. Colonel Croghan, of our brigade, drove the enemy back to Hawk's Nest, taking two prisoners, and doing other damage not known at the time of my departure. Our loss was one killed and three wounded. General Wise was present during the action, and as cool and self-possessed as though no enemy were in the vicinity. Our brigade was encamped at Locust Lane, not less than five miles from the scene of action. D. B. Phillips, C. S. N., Med. Dir. of forces under Gen. H. A. Wise.

a the foot of Cheat Mountain. On that mountain the enemy was well fortified. Cheat Mountain is on the east of the road that leads northwardly from Pocahontas to Huttonsville and thence to Beverly. A part of the Federal army is on that road retreating from Lee, and another part is on Cheat Mountain, as aforesaid. The rumor above may be one of those remarkable rumors which have been known to precede, from twelve to twenty-four hours, the authentic news of a victory. There was a rumor here of the victory at Bethel some hours before reliable information came.--There was no authority for the rumor; it could not be traced, yet in a few hours it was converted into truth and reality. We hope it may turn out so in the rumor about General Lee's victory. There is a brief correction of the Federal telegraph about a skirmish at Hawk's Nest, copied into our paper from the Enquirer. Dr. Phillips, who makes this statement, says that Gen. Wise was present and directed his small force.
