Arriving here from Woodbury at daybreak, Col. Nathan Bedford Forrest found the Federal garrison in three separated locations. The 8th Texas Cavalry (Wharton) attacked the 9th Michigan Infantry (Duffield) encamped to the north of this road with two companies of the 7th Pennsylvania Cavalry. Meanwhile, other units of the brigade charged to the center of town, while another task force proceeded to the northwest outskirts to overcome an infantry regiment, encamped there with a battery of artillery.
