by Kimberly Ball Hieronimus Brownlee

This is the story of the action of the Thirteenth Regiment West Virginia Volunteer Infantry in the Civil War. This paper was written with three purposes in mind:

1) As partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Bachelor's Degree from the University College, Adult Liberal Studies Program of the University of Toledo;

2) For its value as a research tool to those interested in Union regiments from West Virginia, and incidents which occurred in that state during the Civil War; and

3) To indulge in a personal interest, which is explained in the Epilogue of this paper.
