He served in the military Civil War. Many other companies and parts of companies were recruited in
Rutherford County, but their history is closely interwoven with other
regiments. The battle of Murfreesboro began December 31, 1862,
and ended January 2, 1863. The Confederate forces numbering about 35,000 men were under the command of Gen. BRAGG, whose right was under Gen. BRECKINRIDGE, center under Gen. POLK, and left under Gen. HARDEE. The Federals according to commander ROSECRANS, numbered 27,977 infantry, 3,200 cavalry and 2,223 artillery. ROSECRANS' right confronting HARDEE, was commanded by Gen. McCOOK, the center by Gen. George H. THOMAS, opposite POLK, and the left, opposite BRECKINRIDGE, was commanded by Gen. T. L. CRITTENDEN. BRAGG anticipating ROSECRANS' intention of attacking his own right, hurled HARDEE with irresistible force upon McCOOK, ROSECRANS' right, and crushed it. By night ROSECRANS had lost, including stragglers, one-fourth his army and a large portion of his artillery. His right wing was almost at right angles to its position in the morning, but it had been so strengthened as to be impossible to drive it further. The battle so far had been largely in favor of the Confederates. January 1 was a day of comparative quiet except occasional artillery duel and some skirmishing. On January 2 skirmishing opened about 8 o'clock and grew warmer as the day advanced; the tide rolled toward the right. At about 3 P. M. the picket firing began, which was the signal for the celebrated charge made by BRECKINRIDGE on the right. Perhaps no more gallant charge is recorded in history than this one led by BRECKINRIDGE and his gallant subordinates. They swept everything before them, crossed the river and seemed ready to crush ROSECRANS' left, as had been done by his right, but he had skillfully massed fifty-eight pieces of artillery heavily supported by infantry. Upon this unseen enemy the troops rushed, but were compelled to fall back with much loss. The night was passed with anxious watching, the following day BRAGG slowly began to fall back, leaving the field in the hands of the Federals. BRAGG's
loss was reported by him at 10,000; ROSECRANS' loss was 1,533
killed, 7,245 wounded, besides 6,273 prisoners. On the ground where the battle was fought is now a National cemetery, where were gathered the dead bodies from the various points and buried there. The number thus buried amount to about 6,000. Near Murfreesboro is a Confederate cemetery, where now sleep 2,000 Confederate soldiers
