Welcome to Wikipedia!

Your article on the Battle of Salyersville was proposed for deletion because others could not find it listed in Civil War battles. I now that a given battle or skirmish was often given various names, since out in the woods the armies may not have known the name of the creek or ridge, or even which side of the county line they were on. So it is important in this case to give an exact citation to the source you found in the county historical society, "The Magoffin Historical Society, stories from grandsons of the men that were there," and maybe to quote directly from it. I did find an account of a man captured near Salyersville in Nov. 1863, so certainly there was fighting in the area around the reported time. I would like to see the article documented and improved and kept.Edison 15:18, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
