Confederate Gen. Adam R. Johnson and 1700 Partisan Rangers were in the area seeking recruits and supplies when he learned that Union troops under Gen. E. H. Hobson were camped at Grubb's Cross Roads. Johnson attacked on Aug. 21, 1864. In the skirmish that followed, Johnson was wounded and lost sight in both eyes, and the CSA became demoralized and retreated to Paris, Tennessee.
