Join us as we travel to the cliffs above the Gauley River, deep in the mountains of West Virginia, where one of the early battles of the American Civil War unfolded. A place where visitors today still claim the past has not fully left. 

This is the story of the Battle of Carnifex Ferry… and the echoes some say still walk its hills.
