During the afternoon of December 31, Confederate Gen. Patrick Cleburne sought to crush the battered remnants of the U.S. Army of the Cumberland's Right Wing and cut his enemy's line of supply and retreat. The Confederates ran into fresh Union troops rushed to the scene kicking off a savage fight along a little dirt road called Asbury Lane. U.S. infantry and artillery slowed then stopped the Confederates helping to seal their victory at the Battle of Stones River
