The Federal 3rd Division, Army of the Tennessee, under Maj. Gen. Lew Wallace, was disposed by brigades along an east-west line to meet a Confederate attack expected from the north or northwest. The 2nd Brigade, under Col. J. M. Thayer of the 1st Nebraska Infantry, was in this area, then known as Stony Lonesome. The division withdrew to join the Shiloh engagement on the afternoon of Apr. 6, but arrived too late to engage until the following morning.
