- Battle of Campbell's Station
Confederate forces under Longstreet attacked Union troops led by Burnside at Campbell's Station, forcing them from five positions but failing to trap them.
Longstreet hoped to crush the Union Army of the Ohio before they could retreat to Knoxville. During the fighting, Confederates forced Union troops to fall back from five separate positions. A source passage reports that Confederates pressed against Union troops until about 1:30 pm, when Hartranft ordered Christ's brigade to the front line; this account carries an apparent transcription error naming a Humphrey on both sides, so the units involved are left unattributed. The battle date of 16 November 1863 is the occurrence date given by the source, not a document date.
