Army of Tennessee
June 27, 1863

Polk's Corps took up strong defensive positions in this area in early January, 1863. Direct pressure by Stanley's Cavalry Corps and Granger's Reserve Corps, plus flanking operations by Rosecrans' Army at Manchester, forced its withdrawal to Tullahoma, and later to Chattanooga.
