The Skirmish at Bowman's Place, also known as the Action at Cheat River, was a Civil War battle fought near St. George, West Virginia on June 29, 1861, as part of the Western Virginia campaign.^[1]

A party of Confederate cavalry intended to disrupt the local Unionist elections in Tucker County, but were surprised by a force of Union soldiers hidden around the residence of Adam Bowman on the banks of the Cheat River. The federals ambushed the Confederate force, with both sides sustaining casualties, and the Confederates retreated.^[1]
