Having brought about the surrender of the Federal garrison of Murfreesboro by 4:00 p.m., Col. Nathan Bedford Forrest's Brigade halted here overnight, enroute to McMinnville, where prisoners were processed and captured material inventoried. In addition to the extensive capture of men and horses, and destruction of material, munitions and rolling stock, the raid had caused the abandonment by Major General Don Carlos Buell o the Federal drive on Chattanooga.
