Harpers Ferry is a historic town in Jefferson County, West Virginia, United States.
In some cases the name Harper's Ferry has been spelled using an apostrophe.
Harpers Ferry sits at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers.
This is where the U.S. states of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia meet.
It is the easternmost town in West Virginia.
The original, lower section of the town is located on a low-lying floodplain created by the two rivers.
It is surrounded by higher ground on all sides.
Historically, Harpers Ferry is best known for John Brown's raid on the Armory in 1859 and its role in the American Civil War.
During the war, between 1861 and 1865, the town changed hands between Union and Confederate forces 14 times.
The Battle of Harpers Ferry resulted in the largest surrender by Union Army soldiers in the Civil War.
The Battle of Harpers Ferry was fought September 12–15, 1862.
It was part of the Maryland Campaign of the American Civil War.
As Gen. Robert E. Lee's Confederate army invaded Maryland, a portion of his army under Major General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson was sent to capture Harpers Ferry.
His troops surrounded, bombarded, and captured the Union garrison at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (now West Virginia).
This was a major victory at relatively minor cost.
During the Maryland Campaign of 1862, Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia advanced north through the Shenandoah Valley into Maryland.
Lee planned to capture the garrison at Harpers Ferry to secure his line of supply back to Virginia.
The Confederate Army was being pursued at a leisurely pace by Maj.
Gen. George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomac.
Even though the Union Army outnumbering him more than two to one, Lee chose the risky strategy of dividing his army.
He sent one portion to converge and attack Harpers Ferry from three directions.
Dixon S. Miles, Union commander at Harpers Ferry, insisted on keeping most of the troops near the town instead of taking up commanding positions on the surrounding heights.
He had been ordered by McClellan to hold the town until McClellan could send more soldiers.
The slim defenses of the most important position, Maryland Heights, first encountered the approaching Confederate on September 12.
But there was only a brief skirmishing.
Strong attacks by two Confederate brigades on September 13 drove the Union troops from the heights.
During the fighting on Maryland Heights, the other Confederate columns arrived.
They were astonished to see that critical positions to the west and south of town were not defended.
Jackson methodically positioned his artillery around Harpers Ferry and ordered Maj.
Gen. A.P. Hill to move down the west bank of the Shenandoah River in preparation for a flank attack on the Federal left the next morning.
By the morning of September 15, Jackson had positioned nearly 50 guns on Maryland Heights and at the base of Loudoun Heights.
He began a fierce artillery barrage from all sides and ordered an infantry assault.
Miles realized that the situation was hopeless.
He agreed with his subordinates to raise the white flag of surrender.
Before he could surrender personally, he was mortally wounded by an artillery shell and died the next day.
After processing more than 12,000 Union prisoners, Jackson's men then rushed to Sharpsburg, Maryland, to rejoin Lee for the Battle of Antietam.
Maryland Campaign of 1862
From Beaver Dam Creek to Antietam: Lee’s Virginia-Maryland Campaign of 1862
The Maryland Campaign (September 4, 1862–September 20, 1862), also called the Antietam Campaign, was a series of four battles in West Virginia and Maryland initiated by Confederate General Robert E. Lee.
It was considered as one of the major turning points in the Civil War for the Union.
The goal was for Lee's army to invade the Northern states of Maryland and Pennsylvania.
The hope was if Lee was victorious, it might cause Abraham Lincoln to sue for peace.
In July, Major General George B. McClellan's defeated attempt to capture the Southern capital at Richmond, Virginia failed.
In the West, Confederate offensives were proving to be successful.
This was causing poor morale among the Union army soldiers.
Lee divided his Army of Northern Virginia into five smaller armies or columns.
Harpers Ferry (September 12-15, 1862)
The town of Harpers Ferry, Virginia (now West Virginia), sits at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers.
It is surrounded by high cliffs on three sides making it nearly impossible to defend.
Dixon S. Miles, Union commander at Harpers Ferry, kept most the troops near the town instead of taking up commanding positions on the surrounding heights.
Jackson put artillery on all the heights and bombarded the garrison.
Miles decided to surrender the more than 12,000 men.
As he debated with his officers over the decision, Miles was struck by a shell that shattered his left leg, a wound that proved fatal.
Jackson then took possession of Harper’s Ferry before joining the rest of Lee’s army at Sharpsburg, He left General A.P. Hill’s division at the garrison to guard the prisoners.
South Mountain (September 14, 1862)
This skirmish took place in Maryland.
While most of Lee's army was attacking Harpers Ferry, the rest moved into Maryland with Major General George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomac closely behind them.
McClellan could have destroyed Lee's army but he waited giving Lee the time to regroup.
Antietam (September 16-18, 1862)
Most of the fighting occurred on September 17, 1862 between Antietam Creek and the town of Sharpsburg, Maryland.
The events leading to the battle were somewhat strange.
Earlier, a copy of Order No.
191 had been used to bundle a Confederate officer's cigars.
It was dropped and found by Union soldiers.
They were taken to McClellan who now knew exactly what Lee's battle plan was.
However, a Southern sympathizer told Lee that McClellan had a copy of the order.
So McClellan's advantage was lost.
Because McClellan took his time after the Battle of South Mountain, Lee regrouped around Sharpsburg.
The battles started on the morning of the 16th.
By evening, there was still no clear-cut winner.
Both sides were badly bloodied.
Shepherdstown  (September 19-20, 1862)
Also called the Battle of Botelier's Ford, this battle took place in Jefferson County, West Virginia.
As Lee's army retreated south, Union troops under Major General Fitz John Porter's caught up with Lee's rearguard.
While troops were still crossing the Potomac they were attacked by General William Pendleton's Confederates.
This discouraged the Union command from following the Confederate retreat any further.
A little over a month later, President Lincoln relieved McClellan of command for failing to follow and destroy Lee's army.
Major General Ambrose E. Burnside took over command of the Army of the Potomac.

The Shenandoah River  is a tributary of the Potomac River,  long with two forks approximately  long each.
One is in the U.S. states of Virginia while the other in West Virginia.
The river and its tributaries drain the central and lower Shenandoah River valley.
They also drain the Page Valley in the Appalachians on the west side of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in northwestern Virginia and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia.
The Shenandoah Valley sits on limestone.
The fertile soil made it an attractive place for early settlement.
It continues to be a major agricultural area of Virginia and West Virginia.
Some karst topography is evident, and the limestone has a great number of caves.
Several have been developed as commercial tourist attractions.
These include Luray Caverns, Shenandoah Caverns, and the Skyline Caverns.
On the riverbank a few miles above Harpers Ferry, West Virginia is said to be a cave with an opening just large enough for a rider on horseback to squeeze through.
It widened in the interior to a spacious room where hundreds of Col.
John Mosby's raiding troops are said to have hidden from pursuing Union cavalry.
Dixon Stansbury Miles (May 4, 1804–September 16, 1862) was an officer in the Union Army during the American Civil War.
He commanded a division in the First Battle of Bull Run.
He was the commander of the Federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry during the Battle of Harpers Ferry.
He died from shrapnel wounds the day after the Union garrison surrendered.
Miles was born in Baltimore, Maryland on May 4, 1804.
He was a cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point from June 24, 1819, to July 1, 1824.
He was commissioned a brevet second lieutenant in the 7th Infantry Regiment.
Nine years later Miles was promoted to first lieutenant in 1833 and captain in 1836.
He served as Assistant Quartermaster from January 16, 1839 to September 30, 1845.
In 1846, he served in the Mexican–American War.
At the Siege of Fort Texas he was cited for Gallantry and "Meritorious Conduct" in the defense of Fort Texas and was promoted to the rank of major.
Miles had achieved the rank of Colonel by 1859.
He was stationed at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas when the Civil War began.
He was sent to Virginia and placed in command of an infantry brigade under Major general Robert Patterson.
Then he was given command of a division under Brigadier general Irvin McDowell.
He was at First Battle of Bull Run, but his division was held in reserve.
He was then accused of being drunk at the battle.
A Court of Inquiry was held and he was found guilty.
A court-martial was not held.
But Miles was not given another command until March 1862.
At the time he was assigned to the Harpers Ferry Armory, he was 58 years old; the oldest colonel in the Union Army.
Miles arrived to take command in the spring of 1862.
In 1861 the armory had been burned by Confederates.
The town's remaining houses, mills and churches served as hospitals, barracks and stables.
Most of the population was gone.
But it was still an important base of supply for the Union.
By September 1862, Miles had 14,000 men at Harpers Ferry.
On September 12, 1862 Brigadier general Julius White arrived.
But because he had no military experience, Colonel Miles remained in command.
On September 5, Miles had been given very specific orders by his superior, Major general John E. Wool, "you will not abandon Harpers Ferry without defending it to the last extremity."
As if the message was not specific enough, Wool sent another saying "there must be no abandoning of a post, and shoot the first man that thinks of it".
Miles wired back saying he was ready for them.
But for some reason Miles insisted on keeping most of the troops near the town instead of taking up commanding positions on the surrounding heights.
As Confederate General Robert E. Lee moved North in his Maryland Campaign of 1862, he split his forces.
Lee sent Major General (CSA) Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson to capture and hold Harpers Ferry.
His troops found the heights unguarded and placed artillery in a position to bombard the town.
Early on September 15, Miles gathered his officers together.
They were surrounded and nearly out of ammunition.
At around 9:00 a.m., white flags were raised by the Union troops indicating their surrender.
A few minutes later a Confederate shell exploded mortally wounding Miles.
General White, the second in command, arranged for the surrender.
It was the largest capture of Union soldiers during the war.
Jackson captured over 12,700 men, 13,000 arms and 47 artillery pieces.
Miles was blamed for the surrender.
The mountain is part of the Sibillini Mountains (), a mountain group in Italy, part of the central Apennines between eastern Umbria and the Marche.
It is in the "Sibillini Mountains National Park" ().
Below the peak, in a small enclosed U-shaped valley is one lake called the Lago di Pilato, at an altitude of .
Even if it is a small lake ( in diameter), it is important for biologists; a fresh water shrimp, Chirocephalus marchesonii, is endemic to this lake.
Today climbers reach it from the Umbrian side from Norcia, a town and comune in the province of Perugia (Italy) in southeastern Umbria or, on the Marche side, from Ascoli Piceno.

Bouillabaisse is a French fisherman's soup.
This traditional Provençal fish stew originated in the port  of Marseille.
The word is a compound of bolhir (to boil) and abaissar (to reduce heat, i.e., simmer).
It was a stew made by Marseille fishermen using the bony rockfish they were unable to sell.
As well as fish, the soup has mussels (fr: moules) and may have other marine invertebrates.
Vegetables such as leeks, onions, tomatoes, celery, and potatoes are simmered together with the broth and served with the fish.
In Marseille, the broth is served first in a soup plate with slices of bread and rouille, then the fish is served separately on a large platter  (see image).
A simpler version has the fish and broth brought to the table separately and served together in large soup plates.

The Battle of South Mountain was fought on September 14, 1862 in Maryland’s South Mountain between Confederate and Union forces.
The Battle of South Mountain was a very important battle.
It was the first major battle fought north of the Potomac River.
It was the first invasion of the Northern United States by a Confederate Army.
It was also here and not at Antietam where the Confederates under General Robert E. Lee were defeated and turned back.
The day-long pitched battle was fought for control of the three passes through the mountain: Crampton's, Turner's, and Fox's Gaps.
During the summer of 1862, the hopes of the Union that the rebellion could be easily crushed were quickly fading.
In July, Major General George B. McClellan failed in his attempt to capture the Southern capital at Richmond, Virginia.
Near the end of August, the Second Battle of Bull Run was another defeat for the Union.
Shortly after the battle, Lee made his plans to invade the north.
Lee led his Army of Northern Virginia into Maryland on September 4, 1862.
Lee thought that if he took the Civil War to the Union states, a major victory might convince Great Britain and France to support the South.
He also thought it would make the North sue for peace.
This would insure the Confederate States of America could remain an independent country.
McClellan remained in command of the Army of the Potomac even though he had failed to support Major General John Pope at the Second Battle of Bull Run.
Unknown to Lee at the time, a Union soldier had found a copy of Special Order 191.
This was Lee's plan to split up his army.
McClellan learned Lee had sent General Stonewall Jackson to attack and hold the Harpers Ferry Armory.
The information gave McClellan the chance to destroy Lee's army while it was still weakened by Jackson's attack on Harpers Ferry.
On September 14, the battle took place on three gaps.
A few Confederate regiments guarded the two northern gaps, Turner's and Fox's and Crampton's Gap to the south.
The Union army advanced from the east and attacked in two waves.
The first wave attacked Fox's Gap at about 9 am.
Early in the afternoon the second wave hit both Fox's and Turner's Gaps at the same time.
Crampton's Gap was attacked in the late afternoon.
The distance between Crampton's and Turner's Gaps is about six miles.
The terrain between them made each part of the battle a separate fight.
The fighting went on all day at Turner's Gap and all afternoon at Crampton's Gap.
Turner's Gap was fought on a larger scale, was more costly and took longer than the other actions.
This delaying action was also a large deception by the Confederate forces.
The Union forces thought the mountain was swarming with Confederates when in fact only one division guarded the passes until later in the afternoon.
Union forces could have easily swept them aside had they known how few there actually were.
McClellan's concentrating his attack on the Confederates on South Mountain meant he did not help the garrison at the Battle of Harpers Ferry.
From having a copy of Lee's Special Order 191, McClellan knew Jackson was attacking the Union Forces at Harpers Ferry.
What little help he did send arrived too late to prevent the surrender.
It also gave Lee the time he needed to gather his forces together at Sharpsburg, Maryland.
Had McClellan moved faster and more decisively, the costly Battle of Antietam might never have taken place.
Confederate losses for the day amounted to 2,700 soldiers.
The Union losses were 2,300 dead or wounded.
The Confederates were able to delay McClellan's forces by fiercely defending the gaps.
This gave Lee precious time to regroup and move on to Sharpsburg where the Battle of Antietam pitted the two armies against each other again.
The battle of South Mountain, however, forced Lee to give up his plans for invading the North and caused him to have to defend his army.

The San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge is a series of bridges across San Francisco, California.
It is part of Interstate 80 in California.
It has two spans over water.
The western span is a suspension bridge while the eastern span is a self-anchored suspension bridge.
The eastern span used to be a cantilever bridge but it was removed once the new bridge opened.
The cantilever span was destroyed in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake which is one of the reasons why the Eastern span was replaced.
The west span is a double suspension bridge with two decks.
Westbound traffic is carried on the upper deck and eastbound on the lower deck.
The new east span is a single deck with the eastbound and westbound lanes on each side.
It is the world's widest bridge.
The largest island, Heimaey, has a population of 4,135.
The other islands are uninhabited.
The town was evacuated in 1973 because of the Eldfell eruption.
The eruption destroyed one fifth of the town before the lava flow was stopped by putting 1.5 billion gallons (6.8 billion litres) of cold water on it.
The islands are named after the Gaelic slaves who had been captured by the Norsemen.
The Old Norse word, Vestmenn (meaning Westmen), was applied to the slaves and was retained in Icelandic.
After Ingólfr Arnarson first arrived in Iceland, his brother Hjörleifr Hróðmarsson was murdered by the Gaelic slaves.
In response, he tracked the slaves down to the islands are murdered all of them, hence the name Vestmannaeyjar (the islands of the west men).
On 16 July 1627, the islands were captured by a group of North African pirates who stayed there until 19 July.
They were under control of the Ottomans.
The pirates captured 234 people from the islands and took them on a 27-day voyage to Algiers, where most of them spent their life under bondage.
One of the prisoners, minister Ólafur Egilsson, returned in 1628 to the islands and wrote a book about his experience.
In 1636, a ransom was paid for 34 of the captives, and most of them returned to Iceland.
After this, a fort was built on the Helgafell volcano to keep watch for ships.
For centuries, the people who lived on the islands survived from fishing and eating birds and their eggs.
At the end of the 19th century, the lifestyle of the islanders greatly improved.
In 1904, the first motorised boat was purchased, and more followed soon afterwards.
By 1930, the population had risen from 600 in 1900 to 3,470.
The islands have since been known for being a great fishing and sea processing developer.
In 2000, the Norwegian government gifted Iceland with the Heimaey stave church.
This was to celebrate the conversion of Iceland to Christianity a thousand years earlier.
The Vestmannaeyjar archipelago is geologically young.
They have been formed by eruptions over the past 10,000–12,000 years.
The volcanic system is made up of 70–80 volcanoes.

the islands Hani, Hæna, Hrauney and Grasleysa are called Smáeyjar (small islands).
There are a total of 15 islands, and about 30 rock stacks and skerries.
All islands were formed from underwater eruptions and are made up of palagonite tuff and lava.
The oldest island is Heimaey ("Home Island").
Basalt columns can be seen in many places, along with coves caused by soft rock erosion.
The Eldfell eruption caused Heimaey to grow by about 2.1 square kilometres (0.81 sq mi).
The highest point in Vestmannaeyjar is at around 900 feet on the Heimaey island.
There is little snow in Vestmannaeyjar, but plenty of rain.
Because of this, migrating birds are often seen in spring and leave during autumn.
All of Iceland's seabirds can be found in Vestmannaeyjar: the guillemot, gannet, kittiwake, Iceland gull, and puffin.
The puffin is the Vestmannaeyjar emblem, and can be seen all around the island.
There are about 150 plant species on the island, along with 80 types of insects.
The waters around the island have some of the North Atlantic's richest fishing grounds.
The two main commercially used fish in Iceland, the cod and haddock, are found in great amounts near the island.
Other types of fish near the islands include flatfish, herring, capelin, lobsters and ocean perch.
Seals, small types of whales and other marine species are also present in large numbers around the islands.
The islands receive a lot of rain considering its latitude.
Vestmannaeyjar has a tundra climate (closely bordering the subpolar oceanic climate) under the Köppen climate classification.
There is a lot of wind on the islands.
The highest wind speed recorded in Iceland (61 metres per second;140 mph) was recorded at the southern point of the Heimaey island.
However, the island enjoys the highest annual temperature in Iceland.

The San Mateo–Hayward Bridge (commonly called the San Mateo Bridge) is a bridge crossing the U.S. state of California's San Francisco Bay.
It provides a link of the San Francisco Peninsula with the East Bay.
The bridge's west end is in Foster City, a suburb on the eastern edge of San Mateo.
The east end of the bridge is in Hayward.
It is the longest bridge in California and the 25th longest in the world.
The bridge is owned by the state of California, and is maintained by Caltrans, the state highway agency.
Further oversight is provided by the Bay Area Toll Authority.
The bridge is part of State Route 92, whose western terminus is at the town of Half Moon Bay on the Pacific coast.
It links Interstate 880 in the East Bay with U.S. Route 101 on the Peninsula.
It is roughly parallel to and lies between the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge and the Dumbarton Bridge, and is sometimes used by commuters to avoid traffic delays due to emergencies on those bridges.
1929 original bridge
The San Francisco Bay Toll-Bridge Company issued  in bonds  to raise a portion of the estimated  budget required to build the first bridge.
First-year operating revenues were anticipated to be , but the original bridge lost money in its first year of operation.
The original bridge, known as the San Francisco Bay toll bridge, opened on 1929-03-02 after approximately a year of construction.
It was a privately owned venture and was then the longest bridge in the world.
The original bridge was mostly a two-lane causeway trestle with five  truss spans in the center incorporating a vertical lift over the main shipping channel.
Clearance when the lift was down to allow road traffic over the bridge was , and clearance when the lift was up to allow marine traffic to pass the bridge was .
Although the initial press was favorable, daily traffic fell from the opening months and never exceeded 2,000 cars per day until 1947.
The State of California purchased the bridge on 1951-09-12 for .
By 1955, traffic exceeded 9,000 cars per day, and in 1957, traffic was stopped an average of six times per day to allow ship traffic to pass the bridge.
The bridge originally had pole lights along the entire stretch, which were later abandoned except over the vertical lift span.
Traffic on the bridge increased from 3,000 cars per day in 1929 to 56,000 cars per day in 1968.
Before the new bridge was complete, California put the original truss spans up for sale in 1965, with the buyer obligated to remove all five truss spans after completion of the 1967 bridge.
1967 orthotropic bridge
With increased road and marine traffic, a bill was introduced in 1961 by State Senator Richard J. Dolwig to fund a new fixed high-level bridge to replace the 1929 lift-bridge.
The modern span, which began construction on 1961-07-17, opened for traffic in 1967 at a cost of .
The originally designed upgrade would retain the existing lift span (along with the attendant delays due to passing ship traffic), adding a second deck to the truss spans and widening the existing trestles to four lanes, but the California Toll Bridge Authority added  to the project budget in September 1961 to replace the existing lift span with a fixed high-level double-deck span, which would have been similar in appearance to the nearby 1956 Richmond–San Rafael Bridge.
