I have done a minor cleanup on this article, but would like opinions about whether it should remain as a separate article. This was a very minor action that is usually considered to be the tail end of the Battle of Rich Mountain, of note primarily because Robert S. Garnett was killed there. The National Park Service does not include it as a separate battle in its classification that we normally use. Does anyone with an interest in the West Virginia campaigns have an opinion about this?

I'll claim no expertise, but when putting together my "This week in American Civil War history" section for the portal, issues like this pop up. In this case I'd opt for separate article as a rare exception to our normal rule, specifically because Garnett died there. Compare this event, which happened a county away and two days after the major action, to the end of Price's Raid, where several firefights which occurred in the same county and on the same day were recorded as separate actions by the NPS.
