There were two battles of Waynesboro Georgia.

Waynesboro, Ga. Nov. 27-28, 1864. 1st Brigade, Kilpatrick's Cavalry Division. After the night attack at Sylvans Grove, the division moved toward Waynesboro with the 92nd Ill. mounted infantry, under Lieut Col. Van Buskirk, acting as rear-guard. This regiment repulsed several attacks during the dy. On the evening of the 27th the command went into camp along the line of the railroad, and at Jones' plantation, a short distance south of Waynesboro. As another night attack was expected the
troops hastily threw up barricades in two lines, the first being occupied by the 3rd and 5th Ky., and the 8th Ind., and the second by the 2nd Ky. and 9th Pa. About 11 o'clock the Union pickets were driven in and before midnight the enemy had completely enveloped the Federal line and charged
the barricades. Lieut. Stetson with 4 pieces of artillery, poured canister into the enemy at close range, and this, with the steady fire from carbines and Spencer rifles, drove back the Confederates with considerable loss. Again they formed and charged with cries of "Hunt their damned barricades," "Go for them." "We'll show you how to desolate
our homes and burn our towns," etc. The fight lasted until daylight on the 28th when Col. Murray, commanding the brigade, withdrew in accordance with orders from Gen. Kilpatrick, and took up his march toward Louisville. The Federal loss was comparatively light, as the enemy in
the darkness could not fire with any degree of accuracy, while the Union troops, protected by their barricades, knew the ground in front over which the enemy charged and could aim with better effect. The loss of the Conferates was not ascertained but it must have been heavy, as Stetson seldom discharged his guns without producing a serious effect on
the enemy. See The Union Army, Volume 6, "Cyclopedia of Battles" page 915.
