The Battle of Kabletown took place between Confederate and Union forces near the end of the American Civil War.

Captain Blazer's Scouts, a Union company, had already raided the city of Lynchburg, Virginia in the campaign against Richmond.

Captain John S. Mosby of the Confederates decided to stop these raids against Virginia by bringing them to battle.

Mosby had nine companies, the 43rd Battalion Virginia Cavalry, to Captain Richard R. Blazer's one.

Mosby was able to defeat Blazer's Scouts due to superior numbers, inflicting 27 casualties.
