July 1861 CE

Robert Garnett, hearing of Pegram's defeat, abandons Laurel Hill.

The Federals pursue, and, during fighting at Corrick's Ford on the Cheat River on July 13, Garnett is killed; he is the first general officer to be killed in the war.

By later standards the battle is a minor skirmish, often considered a final part of the Battle of Rich Mountain.
