A. D. Bell on the LeftCaptain Bell continued North along the road travelling to seize the major river crossing and deny it to the enemy.
Williams meanwhile cut off his opponents line of retreat by occupying a village that Union troops had quickly bypassed.
Not wanting to give the Confederates and breathing room Union Captain Marshall seized the opportunity and deployed his troops on the far side of the river to oppose any Confederate crossing. The river didn’t turn out to be as significant an obstacle as was previously thought. Confederate troops now had a difficult decision. Do they cross the river under fire from the enemy or do they attempt a forced march during the night and risk total chaos?
