November 6, 1863---The Battle of Rogersville, Tennessee



NOVEMBER 6, 1863:          

The Battle of Rogersville, Tennessee. Confederate forces launch a surprise attack on the Union-held town of Rogersville, Tennessee. In an intense, but shortlived cavalry duel, the Southerners are able to retake the town, along with the well-stocked Union supply dump. 


Union troops defeat Confederate forces at Droop Mountain, West Virginia. This almost forgotten battle ends Confederate resistance in the new State.
