Hawes, chosen governor by the Confederates of the state.
That he was capable of better work than is suggested by his average accomplishment is shown by two allegorical poems - the Complaint of the Black Knight and the Temple of Glass (once attributed to Hawes).
Hawes, however, never discharged the duties of his office.
After rejoining the army Sheridan fought another well-contested action at Hawes' Shop and took and held Cold Harbor.
As far up as Hawes, the dale presents a series of landscapes in which the broken limestone crags of the valley-walls and the high-lying moors beyond them contrast finely with the rich land at the foot of the hills.
