Images appropriately licensed
Any pictures of the battlefield available?
Not really. The site where Siber's men first encountered Loring is the back of a Walmart. There are some drawings (in a recent book) that I have not been able to find elsewhere. There was a Fort Scammon in Fayetteville, which is not Wikipedia's
Fort Scammon in Charleston. I put the Narrows and Gauley Bridge images in to give the reader somewhat of an idea of the appearance of the countryside.

In the Aftermath section, it already says "Today, the battlefield at Fayetteville is now covered by a modern town.[92] Fayetteville has historical markers commemorating the 1862 battle and a second battle that occurred in 1863." I'm going to drop the "now", since the sentence begins with "Today".

Ranks are only used on first appearance for each individual
Will fix (after lunch). As info, I have had reviewers that were not familiar with the Civil War complain that they got confused, and they asked that I restate ranks, names and allegiance in new sections.

Changed to "...and then move northeast to join forces with more Confederate soldiers in the...."
Union Army should be capitalized as it's a proper name
Changed to Union Army in three places including section header. Changed "Confederate army" to "Confederate Army" in four places.

Use Lowry's first name when you mention him in the last paragraph
Inserted "Terry" in front of "Lowry's research...."
Be sure to capitalize Infantry when you mention the specific Ohio regiments--

Looks like you already fixed that one. Looks like "Infantry" is now capitalized everywhere except "several companies of infantry" and "Union infantry arriving".

Made changes in final paragraph and note - capitalize "infantries", made some changes related to the mention of Historian Terry Lowry.
