The Federal 3rd Div., Army of the Tennessee, commanded by Maj. Gen. Lew Wallace was positioned by brigades along an east-west line to meet the Confederate attack expected from the north or northwest. The 2nd Brigade under Col. J.M. Thayer, 1st Neb. Inf., was in this area, known then as Stony Limestone. This division withdrew to join the Shiloh engagement of Apr. 6, but arrived too late to engage until the following morning.
