Below is a list of the units identified as participating in the August 2, 1862 engagement where Forrests troops unsuccessfully attacked a stockade along with links to pages of info about those units. Forrest's command is rather confusing as appeas to consists of several smaller detachments. If any one has any better or clearer information I'd appreciate hearing about it. UNION FORCES Detachment, Company A, 18th Ohio Volunteer Infantry --- Captain Henry R. Miller Detachment, Company I, 18th Ohio Volunteer Infantry --- Captain Charles C.
