attract the attention Of Morgan and other

Morgan's 5000 men near Wytheville, until

moved to join Crook.

although outnumbered two to one, he found
it necessary to make a stand and fight for
hours. His gallant little command with
stood assault after assault, holding their
ground firmly until dark. Averill then
moved of, Morgan not deeming it Advisable
to follow, and eventually fell in with Gen.

and fanking a force Of 1900 men under
Gen. Jenkins. At this time his command
was entirely out of ammunition.
