C.S.A.
Colonel Nathan Bedford Forrest's Cavalry
On February 15, 1862, during the attack Forrest's Cavalry covered the extreme left of the Confederate line. The backwater in lick creek and the swampy condition of the flats along the creek interfered with the movements of cavalry. Forrest therefore, passing through the Confederate line of infantry, moved his troops to the center and joined in the attack against McClernand's troops. Charging infantry and artillery in turn, Forrest's cavalry captured a number of artillery pieces, inflicted severe casualties upon the Federal troops, and contributed signally to the success of the Confederate attack.
