Union Battle Summary |
|
New Creek, W.Va., June 19, 1861. At 5 a.m. Confederates under Col.
John C. Vaughn attacked the Federals guarding the bridge across the
Potomac river. The Union troops withdrew in confusion, firing only a
few scattering shots. The only mention of the affair is that made by
Vaughn, so there is no way of ascertaining what Federal troops
participated. The Confederates had 1 man wounded.
