Describes how in December 1863, Averall and his 2,500 US soldiers plunged into the mountains of western Virginia to cut the 204-mile Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, in order to disrupt Confederate communications between the eastern and western theaters of war and cut the supply line of Confederates besieging Knoxville.
