In the back cover of this book was taped a letter from 1903 from a Captain B. J(??_ Holt to his brother thanking him for the loan of the book. He states that many of the gang members were known to him and that her was the one that led the OHIo 23rd division to flush out a guerrilla band of "secessionists". A company og Ohio troops was sent down from Clarksburg to the lace..burned the Righter homestead, broke up the rendevous and struck a wholesome terror through all that region. Does anyone know Captain B. (J??) Holt?, Union Army? I found a copy of the 1899 book Daughter of the Elm, a very famous book about West Virginia., written by GranvilleDavisson Hall.
