Civil War
TENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
Following are extracts from a report of Lieutenant Colonel Dickerson covering the affair:
"On the 10th instant 40 privates, 4 non-commissioned officers, and 2 commissioned officers were detailed from this regiment to guard a train on the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad from this city to Murfreesboro and return. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon the train while on its return trip, four miles this side of Lavergne, was attacked by guerrillas numbering from three to four hundred, who were secreted in a dense grove of cedars completely covering them from view.
