Skirmish at Salt Lick Bridge

On October 13, 1863, Confederate troops under Col. W. L. "Mudwall" Jackson attacked Union forces at

Bulltown, where they were repulsed by elements of the 6th and 11th WV infantries. Compelled to withdraw, Jackson’s men retreated to Salt Lick Bridge and camped overnight. After a brief skirmish with part of the 4th WV Cavalry on October 14, their retreat continued unhindered.
