At the same time Colonel Morgan was conducting raids in Kentucky, Confederate Colonel Nathan B. Forrest, was undertaking similar operations in Tennessee. Forrest had more troops, 1,400, and his raids were taking place on Confederate soil. On July 14, 1862, he launched a raid on Murfreesboro, Tennessee. After fierce fighting the Union garrison surrendered. Before retreating he tried to knock out supply routes that the Union was using. This included rail links, bridges and telegraph lines.
