Forrest and Capron

Nov. 24 1864

Forrest's cavalry, screening the advance of Stewart's Corps on Columbia met Capron's Cavalry Brigade in this locality and chased it back to Columbia, where the presence of Stanley's XXIII Corps behind entrenchments gave them protection and prevented Forrest from seizing the bridges over Duck River.

Marker is on Trotwood Avenue (State Highway 234), on the right when traveling east.
