Murfreesboro
Wars and Battles, December 31, 1862-January 2, 1863
President Lincoln replaced D.C. Buell with William S. Rosecrans as head of the Army of the Cumberland.
Beginning in the final days of December 1862, Rosecrans engaged Braxton Bragg on the banks of the west fork of the Stones River, near Murfreesboro in central Tennessee. No clear victor emerged from the battle. Both sides suffered heavy casualties estimated at 9,000 each.
The encounter was significant because the Confederates were forced out of central Tennessee. In addition, Philip Sheridan emerged as a promising Union military figure.
