LAST STAND IN TENNESSEE
December 27, 1864
Here Forrest's Cavalry Corps fought its last Tennessee Action.
Covering Hood's retreat, it erected hasty works in the gap to the north.
Upon approach of Federals, fire was opened at close range,
followed by a charge of two regiments of Ross' Brigade and two infantry regiments;
the Federals fell back two miles. Forrest stayed in position two hours more and
crossed the Tennessee River December 28th.
