General Robert S. Garnett’s outpost at Rich Mountain is outflanked and captured by Union troops under General William S. Rosecrans. When Garnett learns of the defeat, he realizes that his position at Laurel Hill is now untenable. In a driving rainstorm, Garnett begins his retreat just after midnight, traveling southward toward Beverly. The First Georgia Regiment is in the van of the retreat.

About Me
- George W. Martin
- United States
- I have had a lifelong interest in reading about and researching the War Between the States. I enjoyed reenacting for eighteen years, most of that time with the 7th Florida Infantry (recreated). My ancestor, William Henry Marshall, served in the Dahlonega Volunteers, Company “H” of the First Georgia Volunteer Infantry Regiment (Ramsey's).
