We catch sight for a moment, through a cloud crevasse, of Ceredo, the last town in West Virginia a small saw-milling community stuck upon the edge of the clay cliff, with the broad level bottom stretching out behind like a prairie.
Two regiments of infantry and a squadron of cavalry with a howitzer battery were at Guyandotte, under Colonel Jonathan Cranor of the Fortieth Ohio, and the Fifth West Virginia was at Ceredo near the mouth of the Big Sandy River. I found General Milroy in command as the ranking officer present, and he had sent Cranor's command down the river.
Huntington is the center of a large group of riverside towns supported by iron-making and other industries Guyandotte and Ceredo, in West Virginia; Catlettsburg, just over the border in Kentucky; and Proctorville, Broderickville, Frampton, Burlington, and South Point, on the opposite shore.
Brick and stone business buildings abound; the broad streets are paved with brick, and an electric-car line runs out along the bottom, through the suburb of Ceredo, W. Va., to Catlettsburg, Ky., nine miles away.
