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