Re: Burning of Barnesville, Reynolds Co.
On July 20th 1862, the Confederates overran the camp at Greenville. Capt. Leeper was in charge.
The raids on Van Buren and Barnesville may have been in retaliation for this. Six reports and affidavits were taken by the Fed's as to what happened.
Read it in the O.R. series1 - volume 13 - page 166 through 171
