In April 1960, with the approach of the Civil War centennial, West Virginia History published an article by Allen W. Jones, a professor of history at the University of Alabama-Montgomery, that listed military events in West Virginia during that conflict. The journal reprinted that article in its 1988 commemorative issue during West Virginia's 125th anniversary. Below are Jones's introductory remarks. Following is the list Jones compiled, which is provided in chronological rather than the alphabetical order used by Jones. Corrections for spelling and date also have been made.
In the voluminous writings on the Civil War, the military activity in the state of Virginia and surrounding border states have overshadowed the numerous and extensive military events which occurred in West Virginia from 1861 through 1865. In this state, which owes its creation to the Civil War, the fighting had a vigorous beginning in 1861 and it continued until the closing months of the war in 1865. This compilation of more than five hundred military events at over two hundred and fifty different places will give some indication as to the extent of the War in West Virginia.
This list of military activities in West Virginia is compiled from The War of the Rebellion: Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies and it does not include any military events which are not described in these documents. The location of each military event is identified by the type of incident and the date it occurred. Standard military terms from the United States Army Regulations and Regulations for the Army of the Confederate States are used to describe the types of military events. The following definitions of terms will aid the reader in using this list of military events:
1. Action: Stresses the idea of active, frequently sharp, offensive and defensive operations.
2. Affair: A fight.
3. Campaign: A connected series of military operations forming a distinct stage in a war.

8. Evacuation: Withdrawal of troops from a town, fortress, etc.

10. Occupation: To hold possession of; to utilize an area or place for a purpose.
