The two sides met at the Gap of Crockett's Cove about two miles southwest of here. When darkness fell, General W.W. Averell and his Union troops retreated, leaving 114 dead and wounded. Seventeen of the wounded were left at this church, where local families fed them and attended to their injuries. There are no documented accounts of the number of Confederate casualties.
