It was part of Lord Dunmore's expedition (or war) in 1774, which was to subdue the Indians on the frontier. The battle was fought and won by men under the command of General Lewis against an Indian attack. The effect of this battle was that the Indians along Virginia's (or West Virginia's) borders kept the peace during the Revolution and gave experience to many men who joined the colonial forces.
