Samuel P. Carter raided the upper Tennessee Valley from Manchester, Kentucky.
Le Morte d'Arthur
Until January 5, Carter's men destroyed railroad bridges and fought a few skirmishes, including a serious one on December 28 at Perkins's Mill also known as Elk Fort. But none of the cavalry raids, Confederate or Union, had any significant effect on the Stones River Campaign. The Army of the Cumberland marched southeast the day after Christmas in three columns, or "wings", towards Murfreesboro, and they were effectively harassed by Wheeler's Confederate cavalry along the way, which delayed their movements.
Although Rosecrans had reported his army to have 81, effectives in Nashville, his force on the march was barely more than half of that since he needed to protect his base and supply lines from the harassment of the Confederate cavalry.

Mitchell moved south along the Wilson Turnpike and the Franklin Turnpike, parallel to the Nashville and Decatur Railroad, then eastward through Nolensville and along the same route used by Crittenden south of the Nashville and Chattanooga. Union cavalry under Brig. David S. Stanley a single cavalry division under Col. John Kennett preceded each of the three columns. The separation of the wings was designed to conduct a turning movement against Hardee at Triune, but when the U.
Murfreesboro was a small town in the Stones River Valley, a former state capital named for a colonel in the American Revolutionary War , Hardy Murfree. All through the war it was a center for strong Confederate sentiment, and Bragg and his men were warmly welcomed and entertained during the month of December. It was located in a rich agricultural region from which Bragg planned to provision his army and a position that he intended to use to block a potential U.
Hardee noted afterward that "The field of battle offered no particular advantages for defense. Sensitive to the political requirements that almost no Tennessee ground be yielded to U. Portions of the area, particularly near the intersection of the Nashville Pike and the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, were characterized by small but dense cedar forests, in places more impenetrable to infantry than the Wilderness of Spotsylvania in Virginia. Short limestone outcroppings, separated by narrow cracks as if rows of teeth, impeded the movement of wagons and artillery.
Breckinridge on the low hills east of the river. None of the troops were ordered to construct field fortifications. By the time Rosecrans had arrived in Murfreesboro on the evening of December 29, the Army of Tennessee had been encamped in the area for a month. By nightfall, two thirds of Rosecrans's army was in position along the Nashville Turnpike, and by the next day Rosecrans's army numbered about 41, and Bragg's 35, The odds were closer than those figures would indicate.

Bragg had the advantage of the detached, but cooperating, cavalry commands under Forrest and Morgan, who raided deeply behind Union lines while Wheeler's cavalry slowed the Union forces with hit-and-run skirmishes. Part of Rosecrans's reluctance to move from Nashville was the inexperience of his cavalry forces in comparison to their Confederate counterparts. On December 29, Wheeler and 2, of his men rode completely around the Union army, destroying supply wagons and capturing reserve ammunition in Rosecrans's trains.
They captured four wagon trains and 1, Union prisoners. Bragg's left flank was weak at the start, and Rosecrans could have attacked there when he arrived and wheeled left, around the flank and directly into the town of Murfreesboro, but he did not know the full disposition of Bragg's forces because of the skillful screening of the Confederate cavalry during the Union march.
In a manner similar to the previous year's First Battle of Bull Run , both commanders devised similar plans for the following day: envelop the enemy's right, get into his rear, and cut him off from his base. Since both plans were the same, the victory would probably go to the side that was able to attack first.
Rosecrans ordered his men to be ready to attack after breakfast, but Bragg ordered an attack at dawn. Bragg's forces were situated with Leonidas Polk 's corps on the west side of the river, and William J. Hardee 's men on the east. He had expected Rosecrans to attack on December 30, but when that did not happen, his plan was to drive Hardee's corps and the cavalry under Brig. John A. Wharton deep into the Union rear.

He began moving the bulk of Hardee's corps across the river to his left flank to prepare for the next morning's attack. This left Breckinridge's division in reserve on the east side of the river on the high ground.

Rosecrans intended to have Crittenden cross the river and attack the heights east of the river, which would be an excellent artillery platform to bombard the entire Confederate lines. However, Crittenden—facing Breckinridge on the Union left—failed to notify McCook on the Union right of these troop movements.
McCook, anticipating the next day would begin with a major attack by Crittenden, planted numerous campfires in his area, hoping to deceive the Confederates as to his strength on that flank, and to disguise the fact that his flank was not anchored on an obstacle the nearby Overall Creek. Thomas, in the center, was ordered to make a limited attack and act as the pivot for Crittenden's wheel. Sweet Home!
