Sheridan's Stand

At this place, General Phil Sheridan's Union division made a stand against the onrushing Confederates. His men, together with those of General George Thomas' divisions, hurled back repeated attacks before being forced to withdraw. The delaying action gave the Federals time to form a new line that held. General Philip Sheridan helped save the day for the Union at Stones River. After the war, he rose to command of the United States Army.
