Hunter Lesser is Active in Educating the Public About the Battlefield Rebels at the Gate By Hunter Lesser
"A haunting exploration of the earliest days of the Civil War. Set in the lush hills and mountains of Virginia, it recalls fundamental issues so polarizing that the people of Virginia were willing to divide their state over them - a decision that would ultimately influence the outcome of the war. In a defiant act to sustain President Lincoln’s war effort, Virginia Unionists created their own state government in 1861 - destined to become the new state of West Virginia."

The Battle Of Rich Mountain Gave the Federals Control of the Turnpike and of all of the Territory of Western Virginia to the North and West
