Taking the high road:

In search of Pocahontas County's Civil War history

Drew Tanner
Staff Writer
      Isolated high in the Alleghenies, Pocahontas County seems an unlikely focal point for action during the Civil War.
      However, the strategic importance of the Staunton-Parkersburg Turnpike in the northern part of the county brought Union and Confederate forces face-to-face for some of the first actions in the war in a campaign that began in May, 1861 and ended in the spring of 1862.
      Later in the war, Pocahontas County saw only occasional skirmishes, including a raid by Union troops on a Confederate supply center in Huntersville in 1862, and the movement of troops on their way to another location.
Fort Plan
A drawing of the fort and nearby roads on one of the interpretive signs gives visitors insight into the various mounds and depressions on the site of the Civil War fort. The path of the Staunton-Parkersburg Turnpike can be seen running roughly southeast to northwest.
Photo by Drew Tanner
      Our Civil War road-trip begins with a drive along U.S. Route 250/State Route 92 just to the north of Pocahontas County, to Cheat Summit Fort. Also known as Fort Milroy, the Federal fortification was located on the 19th century route of the Staunton-Parkersburg Turnpike.
      From the summer of 1861 until April 1862, the Cheat Summit Fort served as the staging area for Federal troop movements in Pocahontas County, including the Battle of Greenbrier River, in Bartow, and a battle at Camp Allegheny. The fort was intended to secure the Staunton-Parkersburg Turnpike as a Union supply route and protect the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from the Confederates.
      Federal Troops began construction on the fort in July, 1861, under the orders of General George B. McClellan. Soldiers from the 14th and 15th Indiana regiments, the 3rd Ohio regiment, the Coldwater Michigan Battery and a company of Ohio cavalry began fortifying the position on July 16, 1861.
      The fort was originally constructed as a large pit and parapet enclosure (trenches and walls). A blockhouse was placed on the hillside northeast of the point where the turnpike crosses White Top. A second small structure was located across the turnpike to the southwest, with a tunnel connecting the two. Cabins were built along the hillside to the southwest of the turnpike as well.
      The fort was built on the site of a farm belonging to an elderly man named White (the namesake of "White Top"). One Federal soldier described the site as "a splendid twenty acre farm averaging ten rocks to one blade of grass."
Troop movements
Another interpretive sign shows the troop movements of the failed Confederate attempt to take the fort on September 12, 1861.
Photo by Drew Tanner
      Formidable in its day, with 14-foot walls that were eight feet thick at the bottom and four feet across at the top, the fortress was believed to be impregnable to both artillery and a frontal assault by infantry or cavalry. During its brief history, the fort came under Confederate attack just once. Less than two months after Federal troops began arriving at Cheat Summit Fort, Confederate forces under the command of Robert E. Lee attempted to capture the fort on September 12, 1861.
      The attempt was thwarted, in part due to the dense woods below the fort. Two hundred Federal troops, not aware that they were outnumbered by a column of 1,500 Confederates, opened fire on their approaching attackers, who were weary from two days of making their way through the dense wilderness without food or shelter.
      Due to the dense cover of the forest, the Confederate troops mistakenly believed they were facing an overwhelming number of Union troops. They soon turned in retreat, leaving much of their equipment behind in the woods. Several skirmishes took place over the next two days, but the Confederate forces, unable to capture Cheat Summit Fort, withdrew from the area. Lee's campaign to take the fort had failed.
      Today the site consists of a series of mounds, with interpretive signs placed by the United States Forest Service to give visitors insight into the ruins.
      On the north side of the parking area visitors can follow a wooded path that leads up a slope. Actually, the slope is one of the former walls of the fort. Once inside the main earthworks, visitors will find various depressions in the ground (the remnants of cabin foundations) and small mounds (collapsed chimneys).
Historic site marker
A historic site marker notes Cheat Mountain Fort, at over 4,000 feet in elevation, was the highest Union fort in the Civil War.
Photo by Drew Tanner
      In some areas, it's possible to walk along the top of the former walls of the fort. Through the trees, it's clear that Federal troops at Cheat Summit Fort once had a commanding view of the surrounding area. When the first trees were felled, many were used to create the frames of the fort's walls. The wooden structures, resembling large cribs, were then filled with earth and stone. Other trees were cut, sharpened and placed in the trenches that surrounded the fort, arranged in an uninviting array of sharp points, further protecting the fort from a Confederate assault.
      The fort's cemetery lies to the south of the parking area, along one of the gravel roads that branches off of the former Staunton-Parkersburg Turnpike. The cemetery was partially damaged by strip mining and logging from the days when the area was privately owned. However, two dozen or so white wooden crosses still struggle to be seen above the thick bed of ferns. The forest, ferns and lay of the land instill a particularly quiet, hallowed feel in this area. Past visitors have left flowers and flags on many of the anonymous graves.
      While a couple hundred Union troops were killed in the battles launched from Cheat Summit Fort, many more were claimed by disease and the damp, bitter cold winter of 1861-62.
      Snow fell on Cheat Mountain as early as August 13. At 4,000 feet in elevation, Cheat Summit Fort was one of the highest Civil War fortifications. One Federal officer recalled Cheat Mountain as "the severest campaign of this company. Its severity consisted in the cold and rain of this dreary and uninhabited country, the lack of sufficient rations and clothing. In the usually mild September, horses chilled to death in that camp."
Main earthworks
A path leads visitors from the parking area to the main earthworks up an embankment. The embankment is actually one of the fort's earthen walls. Interpretive signs describe many of the features found within the main earthworks.
Photo by Drew Tanner
      After launching attacks on Camp Bartow in October, Camp Allegheny in December and enduring the remainder of the winter, Federal troops abandoned Cheat Summit Fort in April 1862.
      "With what a light step all started. Soon on the road turning at the brow of the hill, the 14th took what I fondly hope is their last look at Cheat Mountain," recounted a Union soldier from Indiana.
      Next month we'll continue our search for Pocahontas County's Civil War past as we continue down the road to the sites of Camp Bartow and Camp Allegheny.
      Getting there: Cheat Summit Fort is located off of U.S. Route 250/State Route 92, on Forest Road 250-1, just to the north of Cheat Bridge. It's approximately 7 miles north of Durbin, or 9 miles south of Huttonsville. An interpretive brochure on Cheat Summit fort as well as a Monongahela National Forest "Civil War Auto Tour" brochure are available at the Ranger Stations in Marlinton and Bartow.

ADVENTURES IN GOOD EATING
Fine dining alternative opens in Marlinton

Naturally You opens for weekend dining

Sunny Given
Staff Writer
      Prior to July, if you wanted to take houseguests or family, or that special someone out for something a little fancier than "home cooking" or fast food, your choices in the county were pretty much limited, and they all involved a lot of driving.
      Things have changed. There's a new game in the town of Marlinton, and it's being played at Naturally You - a bed, a breakfast, a massage - and now, a dinner.
Simply Elegant
The dining room sits up to 12 comfortably, at three tables.
Photo by Sunny Given
      The inaugural weekend for "fine dining on the hill" was July 9 and 10. Dave and Paula Zorn, owners of Naturally You, came up with the concept of weekend dining because so many of their guests asked them to do it.
      "Our guests wanted fine dining that was close and affordable," Paula said. "We decided to open it up, not just for our guests, but also for local people to enjoy."
      Each weekend, the Zorns offer three entreé choices, choice of soup or salad, fresh hot bread, dessert, and your choice of tea or water. Diners can bring a bottle of wine or other potent potable with them for the meal, but Naturally You doesn't serve alcohol.
      Keeping it simple, but elegant, is the idea. Naturally You seats 12, and reservation-only dining means the Zorns know in advance how much and what they're cooking. With a limited menu to prepare, Dave devotes a lot of attention to each dish.
      They're particularly pleased they're able to provide fresh, grain-fed beef and pork to their guests.
      "We get our meat from Bluegrass Meats in Caldwell. Their beef doesn't come from feed lots, it's steroid- and antibiotic-free," said Paula. "Most of the ingredients we use [in the meals] come from the food co-op, so it's mostly organic." Additionally, fresh fruits and vegetables in season are used in the selections prepared.
      On the evening I dined at Naturally You, I arrived shortly before the 6 p.m. serving time. The dining room is cozy, but not cramped. Six others were already assembled - one table of four and one couple celebrating their anniversary at another. A Nora Jones CD was playing softly in another room.
      I seem to be the perpetual Lone Diner, so I was glad that the Zorns had set me up at the third table with another couple, David and Sandra Harvey, of Marlinton. We got acquainted and made small talk while Paula took drink orders - water or iced tea - and Paula's daughter Anna brought bread to the tables. Already in place was a saucer of dipping oil - a seasoned olive oil with a sprig of parsley, instead of butter.
      The table settings bring an extra touch of class to your dining experience at Naturally You. The meals are served on antique china that the Zorns found in Buffalo, NY, and your wine - if you bring it - is served in fine crystal. Each setting includes a placemat. Linen napkins complement the colors of the china and the silverware is several steps above the standard issue commercial flatware you see in most restaurants.

      We made our soup or salad choices: Sandra went with the house salad, a good blend of sprouts, romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onion with the house dressing, parmesan vinaigrette. Her husband and I opted for the soup, tomato basil. It was steaming, and pleasantly chunky, with ground herbs plainly visible. The mini-loaves of bread were an excellent complement for both.
      Entreé choices for the evening were tavern roast game hen cooked in white wine mushroom sauce, served with asparagus; filet of beef Bourgingnon cooked in mushrooms, carrots and pearl onions; or salmon steaks baked in a spicy honey mustard sauce over wild rice, served with asparagus.
      The Harveys told me they loved fish and had chosen the salmon. I had selected the beef when I made my reservation. I glanced at another table and saw two game hens, so I knew I'd be able to get opinions about the whole menu after we ate.
      As Anna brought our meals out, Paula cleared away soup and salad bowls and refilled glasses.
Simply Elegant
Fish dish waits its turn for baking.
Photo by Sunny Given
      The salmon looked quite appetizing, and Sandra pronounced it "perfect," moist and tender. The honey mustard sauce had a hint of citrus. The asparagus was very fresh - young sprouts that were tender and not overcooked, all on a bed of wild rice. David said the salmon was also very good, but he prefers his fish sauce-free, so removed most of his sauce.
      My beef Bourgingnon was excellent, lacking only a little salt and pepper, which was provided at each table. While Zorn doesn't hesitate in using herbs and seasoning, he doesn't salt as he cooks, leaving that up to his guests and their individual tastes. The meat and vegetables rested on a bed of whole wheat noodles with ample sauce. The combination of mushrooms, carrots and onions was just right.
      The lady at the next table enjoyed her game hen, saying "it was perfect, and the sauce was excellent, although I could've used more."
      Serving sizes were ample, and more fresh bread was delivered during the meal. I think one of the things I liked the most about the meal was that course portions were just right - you weren't stuffed before your entreé, and you had room for dessert without being miserable.
      For dessert, Paula presented two choices, a berry sorbet and brownie fudge cake with white fudge sauce. A hard choice to make, but we opted for the palate-cleansing sorbet. Clean, sweet and tart, it was a perfect ending for the meal.
      All this for $20 per person. You'd be hard pressed to find as good or better for that price anywhere in or out of the county.
      Naturally You accepts cash, checks, Visa and Mastercard. Dinners are served Friday and Saturday by reservation only. You must call in by noon of the evening you wish to dine, and make your dinner choices at that time. They're located just out of Marlinton on Rt. 39. Phone 799-5471.

Naturally You's Bakery/Cafe becoming a hit

Sunny Given
Staff Writer
      Tired of biscuits and gravy, cereal or toast in the mornings? Got a sweet tooth that won't be denied, or are you looking for something fresh and healthy? In the mood for flavored coffee or exotic teas?
      Naturally You's Bakery/Cafe has something for you! Open from 7 to 10 a.m. Monday through Saturday, they serve a variety of fresh baked goods including bagels (made on the premises), muffins, scones, cinnamon buns and loaves and breads. Brewed fresh daily are several kinds of coffee, usually one regular, one decaf and one flavored, and hot water with a handy assortment of teas to choose from.
      The Zorns try to have a variety of muffins and scones, ranging from healthy to decadent, and the cinnamon buns will definitely give you a sugar buzz.
      You're invited to sit and eat in the dining room, on the front porch, or you can take your goodies to go. Bring your own travel mug, though. They don't have go-cups yet. But if you work in town, they might just let you take a coffee mug with you if you promise to bring it back. Business has steadily been improving - the last time I stopped in, around 9 a.m., all that was left were two bagels and a few bran muffins. If you're planning a big breakfast, or want to treat the office crowd, be sure to call a day or two ahead - David Zorn will have your order waiting for you, fresh and hot.

Even though Gunter's General Store just opened its doors in June, it has the look and feel of a place that has been around for a while. An old wooden bench and rocking chairs can be found in the shade on the front porch.

Some things old, some things new

Gunter's General Store has an old-timey atmosphere

Drew Tanner
Staff Writer
      Antique hunters and collectors now have a new store to scour for unique finds in Pocahontas County.
      Susie Smith and Clint Gunter, of Buckeye, opened Gunter's General Store in Edray on June 10. While the building was completed just this spring, the structure has the look and feel of a place that's been around for awhile. A porch runs across the front, with several rocking chairs for biding the time. Farming implements from years past are parked next to the store. Inside, rough hewn walls lend the building a cozy, rustic feel.
Gunter's also features shelves of collectibles
Opposite from the antiques, Gunter's features shelves of collectibles, from frogs to Wizard of Oz to Western items. There's also a "Crafter's Corner," featuring arts and crafts from local artists.
Photo by Drew Tanner
      A "Crafter's Corner" features arts and crafts from local artists. Some of the items in the Crafter's Corner include woodcrafts by Dewey Hammons, painting and woodburning by Cleva Friel and Chip Adkins, baskets and children's rocking chairs by Troy and Jane Wilson, children's quilts by Diane Sparks, and a beautiful wormy chestnut gun cabinet by John and Anne Turner. The list goes on and is always changing. Smith also offers some of her own painting in the Crafters Corner as well.
      On the other side of Gunter's General Store, a map of West Virginia and Virginia hangs on one of the walls. Dating from 1891 the map shows Marlinton as "Marlin's Bottom." Huntersville is shown as the county seat.
      Among other antiques and curiosities, Gunter's has Griswold skillets and waffle irons, a wringer-washer, antique enameled kitchenware, milk bottles, dishes and antique hand tools. Many of the kitchen items are displayed around an antique wood-fired cooking range.

      In another corner sits a cast iron Coles airtight woodstove with ornate chrome trim. In front of the cozy woodstove a chess set is set up on a wooden barrel, flanked by chairs.
      Many of the antiques come from Smith's own collection. Others are being sold on consignment. From antiques to crafts and collectibles, Gunter's is sure to have something that will catch your eye.
