Striking this area about 1:00 P.M. Wheeler attacked with three columns and captured 200 stands of arms, numerous horses and mules and 500 prisoners, and destroyed the Reserve Wagon Trail of the Federal XIV Corps. To forestall further attacks, Col. M. B. Walker's Federal brigade was deflected from its march on Murfreesboro, but the raiders departed south toward Rock Springs.
