trivia queston???

What I read and is probably not right. Philippi, Va Started July 6 and lasted til July 11 1861
 
First land battle

How about Fairfax Courthouse, VA, June 1 1861 (Union 1 Killed, 4 Wounded, Confederates 1 Killed 14 Wounded)

I believe it was strictly Cavalry. Too small to count as a battle?

How about the Camp Jackson affair in St.Louis when union troops fired into a crowd of Southern sympathizers killing over 20. May 10th 1861.
 
First recognized land. battle.

Philippi Races
West Virginia
American Civil War
June 3, 1861

With research, I have learned that the other two answers are good answers. I think the other two are listed as skirmishes.
