Also called Murfreesboro in Northern Tennessee.

An inconclusive battle fought in freezing conditions through New Year's Eve 1862-63, where the Confederates under Braxton Bragg eventually abandoned the field, so it was counted as a victory for the Union under the newly-appointed William Rosecrans.

Nothing came of it for few months, then Rosecrans started a skilful move towards Chattanooga that could have destroyed the enemy. But his divisions became widely separated in the mountains, and the chance was missed.
