On August 29, the Confederates encountered their first Union garrison near Bolivar and engaged them in a seven hour skirmish that forced the Union forces back into the city of Bolivar to regroup. The Union force left the safety of the city the next morning to try and check the Confederate force, but found they had slipped by them during the night and were heading towards other Union garrisons stationed along the railroad lines. The hit-and-run tactics of General Armstrong's Confederates were proving successful and having the desired effect of throwing Union forces along the rail lines into chaos.
