Between 1861 and 1865 more than 60,000 warriors of the Blue and Grey traversed Greenbrier County.

A careful review of the Official Records of the War of the Rebellion, published by the United States Government years after the war, reveals more than 1,400 pages of letters, orders, dispatches and other documents relevant to the Civil War in Greenbrier County.

From this fact we may glean some idea just how much "war" Greenbrier's residents were subjected to. The tale of David Creigh, "The Greenbrier Martyr" reminds us that it was not only the actual combatants who paid a heavy price during those four bloody years. The counties famed Greenbrier resort saw frequent use as military hospital, field infirmary, supply depot, and army headquarters.

To it flocked men and officers of the North and South, including John S. Mosby, destined to become known as the legendary "Grey Ghost" of the Confederacy. The war years were indeed, "a time to try men's souls."
