Battle of Stones River (also known as Battle at Murfreesboro)
Location: Rutherford County, TN
Campaign: Stones River Campaign (1862-63)
Date(s): December 31, 1862-January 2, 1863
Principal Commanders: Maj. Gen. William S. Rosecrans [US]; Gen. BraxtonBragg [CS]
Forces Engaged: Army of the Cumberland [US]; Army of Tennessee [CS]
Estimated Casualties: 23,515 total (US 13,249; CS 10,266)

Description: After Gen. Braxton Bragg's defeat at Perryville, Kentucky,October 8, 1862, he and his Confederate Army of the Mississippiretreated, reorganized, and were redesignated as the Army of Tennessee.They then advanced to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and prepared to go intowinter quarters.

Maj. Gen. William S. Rosecrans's Union Army of the Cumberland followedBragg from Kentucky to Nashville. Rosecrans left Nashville on December26, with about 45,000 men, to defeat Bragg's army. He found Bragg's armyon December 29 and went into camp that night, within hearing distance ofthe Rebels.

At dawn on the 31st, Bragg's men attacked the Union right flank. TheConfederates had driven the Union line back to the Nashville Pike by10:00 am but there it held. Union reinforcements arrived from Rosecrans'sleft in the late forenoon to bolster the stand and before fightingstopped that day, the Federals had established a new, strong line.

On New Years Day, both armies marked time. Bragg surmised that Rosecrans
would now withdraw, but the next morning he was still in position. Inlate afternoon, Bragg hurled a division at a Union division that, onJanuary 1, had rossed Stones River and had taken up a strong position onthe bluff east of the river. The Confederates drove most of the Federalsback across McFadden's Ford, but with the assistance of artillery, theFederals repulsed the attack, compelling the Rebels to retire to theiroriginal position.

Bragg left the field on the January 4-5, retreating to Shelbyville andTullahoma, Tennessee. Rosecrans did not pursue, but as the Confederatesretired, he claimed the victory. Stones River boosted Union morale. TheConfederates had been thrown back in the east, west, and in theTrans-Mississippi.

Result: Union victory
