Talk:Battle of McDowell

Article source
The text of this article is virtually verbatim from the public domain NPS source cited in the References, which is a problem according to Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches. I have added the appropriate citations, but a general rewrite is in order. I will put this on my to do list, but other assistance in solicited in the meantime.

Opposing forces
I have done a similar thing here that I just did to First Kernstown, viz., placing the orders of battle directly on the main page, meaning we can delete the separate OOB pages. If no one objects, I will tag those for removal in a few days. (BTW, no objected when I deleted the Kernstown OOBs, so I assume everyone's on board with this change.)

Opposing forces
I have reverted the movement of the orders of battle into the main page, as has been contested at several other pages. See Talk:Battle_of_Wilson%27s_Creek for a similar discussion. Hog Farm (talk) 01:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
