On the second day, skirmishes between Clark’s rebel brigade and the Union’s 14th Iowa were fought on Shepherd Mt. Before the assault on Ft. Davidson, two Rebel cannons were placed on the mountain, but accurate fire from Union artillery in the fort made them ineffectual. During the assault on the fort, Clark’s brigade anchored the left wing of the Confederate army at the base of Shepherd Mountain.
