What is Hoovers Gap: An American Civil War scenario for These Fields of Blood
The famous battle at Hoovers Gap started a legend for Wilder's Brigade. Like all legends it was subject to many stretches of the truth. Uncovering the story has taken some time, reading battle accounts, sorting through many inconsistencies.
As with all battles there is much confusion, soldiers recall their perspective which may be clouded by many factors. Even the various battle maps available conflict with each other, they also conflict with the geological lay of the land. I decided to use some modern technology, Google Earth, and looked at the actual land.
Suddenly it became much easier to piece together accounts. Deployments of the troops had some meaning in relation to the land, tactically the battle now had some meaning. Battlefield accounts of the time could now be put into place like a jigsaw puzzle.
This study of the battle at Hoovers Gap does not aim to be the most authorative on the battle. It does throw a new perspective on the battle, demistifying the legends and providing a more accurate tactical view of the battle.
