Battle of Philippi Races
The Battle of Philippi, also called The Philippi Races, was fought on June 3, 1861, in and around Philippi, Virginia (now West Virginia) as part of the Operations in Western Virginia Campaign of the American Civil War. It was the first organized land action in the Eastern Theater of the war, but is often treated dismissively as a skirmish rather than a significant battle.
