  • The Battle of Cove Mountain occurred in Wythe County, Virginia, on May 10, 1864, during the American Civil War. A Union cavalry division commanded by Brigadier General William W. Averell was prevented from attacking a lead mine located near Wytheville. Confederate forces commanded by Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan, with a detachment of a brigade of cavalry from the command of Brigadier General William E. "Grumble" Jones, stopped Averell at Cove Gap, adjacent to Crockett's Cove and Cove Mountain. Averell and a larger force commanded by Brigadier General George Crook were part of a Union plan to damage the Confederate-controlled Virginia and Tennessee Railroad. The railroad was used by the Confederacy to transport soldiers and supplies, and served important lead and salt mines. Averell's assignment was to attack the mines, but he was stopped at the cove while attempting to reach the lead mine. After an escape through the mountains during the night, Averell's cavalry was pursued by multiple Confederate forces for five days until his cavalry reunited with Crook's force in Union, West Virginia. The National Park Service lists the result of this battle as "indecisive". Confederate accounts call the battle a victory for Morgan. Confederate troops prevented Averell from destroying a salt mine, and a lead mine, that were important to the Confederacy for preserving meat and making bullets. However, because of Confederate concern about Averell's intentions, most of the forces commanded by Jones and Morgan could not assist at the Battle of Cloyd's Mountain where Crook's 6,000-man legion had a significant victory. Crook was able to complete his objective to destroy a large railroad bridge across the New River, and important Confederate railroad infrastructure was damaged. (en)
  • La bataille de Cove Mountain est une bataille de faible importance de la guerre de Sécession. Elle a lieu le 10 mai 1864, en Virginie. Elle fait partie des rencontres ayant émaillé le raid Crook-Averell, dont l'objectif était de perturber les arrières des armées sudistes et, en particulier, de s'en prendre à la seule ligne de chemin de fer permettant encore aux sudistes de relier les fronts du Tennessee et de Virginie. Une brigade nordiste, sous les ordres du brigadier général William W Averell, rencontre une brigade sudiste commandée par le brigadier général . Averell donne l'assaut aux positions sudistes mais est repoussé. Les confédérés, renforcés par la brigade du brigadier général John H Morgan, contre attaquent et repoussent les forces nordistes. Au coucher du soleil, les confédérés sont maitres du champ de bataille. Le lendemain, Averell incendie le pont sur la New River sur lequel passait la ligne de chemin de fer Virginia & Tennessee Railroad. (fr)
