The Battle of Vaught's Hill, also known as the Battle of Milton, was a battle of the American Civil War, occurring on March 20, 1863, in Rutherford County, Tennessee. During the inactivity following the Battle of Stones River, a Union brigade-sized reconnaissance force, under Col. Albert S. Hall, left Murfreesboro on March 18. Circling to the northeast, Hall encountered Confederate Brig. Gen. John Hunt Morgan's cavalry command, which caused him to fall back to a position east of Milton. Pursuing Hall, Morgan's men caught up with him on the morning of March 20, at Vaught's Hill. Dismounted, Morgan struck at both Union flanks, even to the point of encircling Hall's hilltop position. Hall conducted a perimeter defense and withstood all Confederate attacks, which lasted till after 2:00 p.m. Mo

  • De Slag bij Vaught's Hill vond plaats op 20 maart 1863 in Rutherford County Tennessee tijdens de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog. Deze slag is ook bekend als de Slag bij Milton. Tijdens de relatieve rust na de Slag bij Stones River stuurden de Noordelijken verschillende versterkte verkenningstochten uit. Op 18 maart vertrok kolonel Albert S. Hall vanuit Murfreesboro met een brigade. In noordoostelijke richting botste Hall op de Zuidelijke cavelerie onder leiding van brigadegeneraal . Hall moest zich terugtrekken en nam stellingen in ten oosten van Miton. In de ochtend van 20 maart haalde Morgans cavalerie de Noordelijken in bij Vaught's Hill. Morgan liet zijn soldaten afstijgen en viel de beide vijandelijke flanken aan. Hall kon alle Zuidelijke aanvallen weerstaan. Deze duurden voort tot 14.00u. (nl)
