In June 1862, Lieutenant Colonel William Russell of the 4th West Virginia ordered Company D to McDowell County after learning that E.V. Harman and 100 rebels were terrorizing local Unionists. Union troops arrived to find that the guerrillas had left the area to join a larger Confederate force near Tazewell, Virginia. Russell’s men then burned Harman’s headquarters and destroyed 40 bushels of corn.
