Specifically, here is a link to a story about Averell in the Shenandoah Valley by Scott.
Steve Cunningham has an informative website dedicated to the 7th West Virginia Cavalry, with updates on memorial hikes that recently took place on Droop Mountain.
The lookout tower at Droop Mt. Battlefield State Park looks out toward Averell's position before the battle.
