Col.J.B.Dodge, Kirks Brigade,December 26th. Morning broke clear and cold. We received marching orders during the night, and day light found us marching over the same road we had went over twice yesterday. When we reached the Edmundson pike we turned south, following closely in the rear of the other two divisions of our corps (the twentieth). The roads were bad, owing to the rain and artillery passing over them.

The advance struck the rebels about 10 o'clock. Our progress during the day was necessarily slow. The enemy at times fought stubbornly, and we were moving cautiously. The nature of the country was sure that the rebels had the advantage in position all the time. It is quite a rolling country, hilly in some places, with numerous streams passing through it, all now swollen by the rain, and, of course, the rebels, as they fall back, destroy all the bridges; but Sheridan and Davis are pushing them, and they must either get out of the way or fight. Just before dark the enemy made a stand at a stream where quite a little fight took place, which closed at dark by the enemy being forced to retreat again, with the loss of a number of prisoners, quite a number of killed and wounded, and one piece of artillery. We crossed the creek and marched about a mile when we bivouacked for the night. We were cramped for room, and our brigade (the second brigade of the second division, twentieth army corps,)
If Sheridan was in front they might of been on the Edmondson pike as mentioned here.Not sure but pikes pick up names as they enter of leave a specific town but, still be on the Nolensville main pike.
