Army Of The Cumberland, June 24, 1863: Murfreesboro, Tennessee

ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND

JUNE 24, 1863

Moving to Bradyville, 14 mi. S. E., the XXI Corps, (T. L. Crittenden) advanced against minor confederate resistance on Manchester, to rendezvous with the rest of the Army under cover of Granger’s feint at Shelbyville.  This flanked the Army of Tennessee out of its position in the Duck River heights and caused withdrawal to Chattanooga.
