Far more serious action, as far as Logan County was concerned, was the fact the raid cost Logan County its first deed book which was hidden on the mountain above Midelburg Island and never recovered. Other skirmishes followed the Guyandotte River region, but there were those who would always remember the horror of those times as long as they lived. They would try to be better men than they had been during the Civil War Era. The reenactment will feature the assault on Captain Geocke, snipers firing on the Union troops, the occupation of the town, the destruction of the Logan Courthouse, and the retreat of the 37th Ohio Volunteers from Logan County. Inspiring and entertaining living history actors will bring to life the words, wisdom, and characters of Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee, and Francis H. Pierpoint.
