The battle of Droop Mtn. was a disaster for the Confederates of the northern Greenbrier Valley. From there, the Yankees then took Lewisburg, but were unable to move east to White Sul. Spgs. since the Confederates burned the bridge over the Greenbrier River at Caldwell. Luckily, the Confederate's well-hidden saltpeter mine at Organ Cave was never discovered across the River.
