On the morning of November 5, 1863, Union troops under General William Averell attacked Colonel William Jackson's Confederates around Mill Point, which Jackson used as a supply depot. As skirmishing continued, Federal reinforcements led Jackson to fall back to Droop Mountain, where more Confederates joined him. The buildup of men led to a much larger battle the next day.
