On April 20, 1863, Confederate Gens. William E. "Grumble" Jones and John D. Imboden began a raid on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from Virginia through present-day West Virginia. Taking separate routes, they later reported that they marched 1,100 miles, fought several engagements, captured 700 Federals, seized about 1,700 horses and 4,000 cattle, and burned 4 turnpike bridges, more than 20 railroad bridges, 2 trains, and 150,000 barrels of oil. Most bridges were soon repaired. Confederate losses were slight. By May 26, both commands had returned to Virginia's Shenandoah Valley.

Confederate Gen. William E. Jones and about 2,500 cavalrymen approached Greenland Gap on April 25, 1863. They were en route to Rowlesburg to destroy the Cheat River and Tray Run bridges there. If successful, they would halt rail traffic between Rowlesburg and the Ohio River.

Union Capt. Martin Wallace's Co. G, 23rd Illinois Infantry, occupied this gap, reinforced with Capt. Jacob Smith's detachment from Co. A, 14th West Virginia Infantry. The Federals held the two-story log Dunkard church and two other nearby dwellings declaring that they would "fight to the last crust or cartridge." When a Confederate came to Wallace with a flag of truce to demand surrender, Wallace replied, "Go back with the rag; I do not care if he has a million; I will not surrender until compelled." Not until the Confederates set the church afire did he surrender (all of the Federals were exchanged by October). Their stubborn resistance delayed Jones's column and enabled some of the Federal officers to warn the garrison at Rowlesburg of the impending threat. Later, at Rowlesburg, Jones's attack was repulsed, and the Cheat River and Tray Run bridges were saved.

"I have fears for New Creek to-day. An infantry company from that post, guarding Greenland Gap, was attacked yesterday by the advance of Jones, 2,000 cavalry, and fought from 4 P.M. until dark. Still holding the position, but the rebels have probably come up in force to-day, bringing artillery."

— Union Gen. Robert C. Schenck, April 26, 1863

Cumberland Gap Tunnel by Experiencing the Journey

The Cumberland Gap Tunnel is a dual-bore, four lane vehicular tunnel that carries U.S. Route 25E under Cumberland Gap National Historical Park near the intersection of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia. The tunnel consists of two separate bores which carry four lanes of traffic between Cumberland Gap, Tennessee and Middlesboro, Kentucky. -Wikipedia

The Cumberland Gap Tunnel is approximately .9 mile and is located within the park on Highway 25E. The opening of the Cumberland Gap Highway Tunnel on October 18th, 1996 forever changed the face of Cumberland Gap National Historical Park (NHP). The asphalt, where 25E passed through the Cumberland Gap, is gone. So too is the traffic. All that remains is the Gap - and a six foot wide trail - almost as Daniel Boone knew it. Visitors to Cumberland Gap NHP are now able to walk in the footsteps of Colonel Boone himself and the nearly 300,000 pioneers who journeyed through the nation's first doorway to the west. -nps.gov

There is a song called “Cumberland Gap”. Bluegrass music is a genre of American roots music that developed in the 1940s in the Appalachian region of the United States. Unlike country, it is traditionally played exclusively on acoustic instruments such as the fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitar and upright bass. Bluegrass tunes often take the form of narratives on the everyday lives of the people whence the music came. Some protest music has been composed in the bluegrass style, especially concerning the vicissitudes of the Appalachian coal mining industry. -Wikipedia

In Spotify music, there are dozens of dozens have artists play a song called “Cumberland Gap”, mostly are about coal mines, a few are about the war. The song Cumberland Gap as been used Flatt & Scruggs, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Grateful Dead.
