Moving rapidly south through Franklin, Stephen D. Lee's Corps, with Chalmers' cavalry division attacked, took up a delaying position in this area about 1:00 p.m. They beat off attacks by Wood's IV Corps & Wilson's cavalry. Here, Gen. Lee was wounded; command passed to Maj. Gen. L. Carter Stevenson. The Army of Tennessee bivouacked that night around Spring Hill.
