At Stones River, two great armies of Americans, some 81,000 men, clashed in a bitter three-day struggle that erupted on New Year's Eve 1862. After the battle, Union troops fortified a vast area just outside downtown Murfreesboro and named their fortress for their popular commander, General William S. Rosecrans. Three miles of walls protected the encampment and warehouses of the Army of the Cumberland, and part of this Civil War fort remains mostly untouched by modern development.
