ABSTRACT
On November 24 to 29, 1864, during the U.S. Civil War, a military activity occurred at Columbia, Tennessee, between the U.S. and Confederate States (C.S.) armies. In mid-November U.S. General Thomas had planned to take the offensive against C.S. General John Bell Hood but did not receive his expected reinforcements. Thomas ordered U.S. Major General John M. Schofield with his XXIII Corps and U.S. Major General David Stanley's IV Corps to Pulaski to delay Hood until U.S. Major General Andrew J. Smith arrived, to avoid a battle and to fall back fighting toward Nashville if Hood advanced.
