Gerald,

Just a couple of notes on the battle which I've found.

Good Hunting,

Action at Philadelphia, TN, as Confederate Cavalry forces under Col.
George G. Dibrell attack a wagon train belonging to Maj. Gen. Ambrose E.
Burnsides, USA, commanding the Dept. of the Ohio, inflicting 479
casualties on the Federals in the process. (The Chronological Tracking
of the Civil War, Ronald A. Mosocco)

Moved out to Sunny Side and just as we got to Mit Rose’s we got into a
Yankie stampede. Rebels were within two hundred yards of them. The yanks
ran for life. 450 Yankies captured at Philadelphia and 40 waggons and
five pieces of artillery. (The Civil War Diary of Lt. John J. Blair,
