  6. of Cheat Mountain- General Robert E. Lee’s abortive attempt to defeat General John Reynolds and recapture the Kanawha Valley.

It claimed to act on behalf of all Virginia in order to meet eligibility requirements to severe the western counties from Virginia to form West Virginia, as required under the Constitution.
