•i hotline w hole day and ni^rht by bad

camn in from tl»« nortTiwest toward the
1.. in.',ton road he found his way disputed
I- .force that he did not
-dream an lie
n _• in the vicinity. Notwithstanding the
1 !, that Dunham's men had marched and
i•:t rinarelied since the raiders had en
tered West Tennessee, and were travel worn
iiil wp-ary, the Union command .made
i-.-l\e miles bet ween 2 o'clock and dark
.:i he 30th.
DuntiK'he niuht s?out« brought word
to Dunham's camp that Forrest's whoh*
command was four inih-s distant, and was
i i ln road to Parker'* Truss Itoads, flve
.el 's south of the respective camps, otid
t: .- point where his escape was to ^icefTeet
ed. if at all. This colonel now ordered out
1 men, sent word to his superior, Gen. J.
Sullivan, who was followin up with
i-e .-nf.jiwitieiits, that hit would "coax or
e a light out of" Forrest in the morti
ami started ir the cross roads. l-,,r
-i \s command w is oa the roail early..n
uist, and on approaching t,fie cross
..is the advance was (Jispui.id by I)mi
ijaui'si pickets.
i'be raiders were handieapjK'd by an irn
i-:se waaviti rain laden with tlio fruits
i heir foray, but as that is part of the
trade of raiding it wi-is their business to de
fend if and to vi'.eee in spite of it, or be
juilu"i'd wanting i:i the elements that make
true sofdiers. Dauham pushed the nkir
mislii I.k wit Ki'fat ihVn-'ss. Theeneiny
ujipeared in ikt-ached i. ties, and each one
of iwsc wus attacked and forced back up
the main body. Meanwhile Dunham's own
force w is put in jio^ition on i rid^e half
a mile in rear of his .skirmishers. The
ridtre, called Red Mound, covered the cross

and '^50 men, were made prisoners, For
rest halted to reorganize and tako his bear
iiigs.
Dunham was outnumbered and vv n* iu u
tight place, for Forrest's llank movement
had cliauired the situation so that the 'on
federates weru between him and his? base
and his
supports. The latter, which he bad
summoned to his aid by the night, dispjftch
to Gen. Sullivan at Huntington, were
pressing on o his assistance. If lie could
hold on until their arrival he could .save
his brave command. If not. Forrabt would
score another victory, alt-hough one dearly
bouuht.
The near I'm n supjiorts were the
Thirty-mnt!: nd T\ uty-seventh Ohi in
fantry. under Col. .John W. Fuller, which
only lelt lluntiugton at the time Forrest
and Dunham clinched for the fray that
morning. After marching some hours
Fuller got within hearing of the battle,
there to be overtaken by an order from
(it'n. Sullivan, who was liehlnd him, to
ludt for an hour and a half. Instead of
nlieyintf he pressed on with all speed, im
.itaiing Col, Duuham in Ids battle zeal, ami
illIIMrating again the Important maxim of
war, "When in doubt go ahead." He was
within two miles of the Held when an
orderly galloped from tho real t-o the head
of column with a message from Geu. Sulli
van, Mho was now with the lvjir guard
thixv miles back, directing a halt until the
neral should reach the front.
At the same time one of Fuller's aids
ime in from the direction of the battle
!:"Id ard*c :"rted the enemy in full force

i nfi'rce.neni Onec iie.ie shell' was doubt
u hi,-ther to bey onion, and h. lt or go on
ond fight, lie went ahead, and the result
cannot be told better than i:i the words of
Gen. Forrest himself. After describing
the m:ijn lighting lie viys iu his official re
port: "Thirty minute s more would have
given us the flight, when to my surprise
nr.d astonishment a (ire was opened on us
in our rejir and the enemy in heavy force
advani-ed on us. Knowing (hat 1 had four
eomp.-nics at ('larkshurg, seen miles
from us on thn Huntington road, I could
not believe they were Federals until I rode
myself into their lines. The heavy lire of
tlieir infantry, unexp'-cted and unlookfl
for by all, cant-:ed a stamjiede of horses be
longing t.o my dismounted men who were
following up find driving the enemy lie
fore them. They also killed or crippled
many of tho horses attached to our caissons
and reserved guns."
The surprise wa.s as complete as Gen.
Forrest indicates. 'J'he first, volley of the
Twenty-seventh Ohio unhorsed several of
the body guard of Forrest, and his adjutant
general was made prisoner. Forrest, him
self literally ran away from his comrades,
and when halted by a Union officer with a
demand fur surrender he ar.snercd coolly,
"I have done so some time ago, and
.••in collecting my command to Mirrendcr
i:i due form." I*y this ruse he escaped.
Fuller's men had nmde seven miles in tho
last hour and a half of march, and arrived
r.t. double ouiek on the liold. They sensed
800 horses 1 e'.onging to Forrest, and recapt
ured one caution and a wai/on train that
Forrest had taken from Dunham wh.-n in.

The turn of affair* brought about by
Col. Fuller's promptness wa.s no more of a
surprise to Forrest- than it was relief to
Duuham. After ae n puis. #f Forrest's
charge in the rear the Union troops could
do no more ban Ktand a

their numls-rs inferior and their road back
