The Pocahontas Times, November 3, 2005. Fifty
Years Ago, November 3, 1955. BATTLE RELIC It had been fired in the battle of 92 years ago. In size it is three inches in diameter, and the weight is a few ounces over nine pounds. Put it down as a missile from the Union side. The Federal artillery was on "Yankee Flats" about half way down the mountain, to the east of Route 219. This shell grounded at the brow of the mountain. It is said many of the shells from the Union batteries went high over the battlefield. "Dud" shells were to be picked up in numbers years ago. The dangerous things were sometimes exploded in burning log heaps. The last time such a foolish chance was taken, a big fragment of a shell flew a mile or two and struck a farm house above the front door. " Link to WVGenWeb
