The Battle of Stones River: The Fight for Murfreesboro. After Confederate General Braxton Bragg's defeat at Perryville, Kentucky, in October of 1862, he and his Confederate army retreated and reorganized near Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Major General William Rosecrans' Union army followed Bragg from Kentucky to Nashville. At dawn on December 31, the two armies clashed in a deadly struggle along the banks of Stones River. In total, more than 23,000 soldiers were killed, wounded, missing or captured, making December 31, 1862 Tennessee's deadliest day in history, and the bloodiest fight in the " Western Theater" of the American Civil War.
