Driving north from Alabama in an effort to cut Sherman's communications, Buford's Division, the advance guard of Forrest's Cavalry Corps, met Federal resistance in this area. It pushed forward and extended its line to right and left with Johnson's Federals, under Rousseau, to within three miles of Pulaski. Unable to make further advances, it withdrew to the line of the Nashville & Chattanooga RR. A nearby cemetery contains Confederate casualties.
