Buster Knob

From West Virginia (WV) Cyclopedia

Buster Knob, or Buster's Knob (elev. 3,278 ft.), is one of four summits on Sewell Mountain in eastern Fayette County that exceed 3,000 feet above sea level, according the the WV Geological and Economic Survey. The knob was the site of a Union Army encampment during the Civil War, positioned in strategic opposition to a Rebel encampment on Myles Knob (elev. 3,460 ft.), roughly a mile to the northeast. Battle was never engaged as rebel forces retreated southeast to the Big Meadows of western Greenbrier County.

Aside from Buster's and nearby Myles' Knob, other summits on Sewell Mountain include Ford Knob (elev. 3,360 ft.), and Walnut Knob (elev. 3,442 ft.)
