End of a Victory Streak (Cedar Grove) - July 13th

Brigadier General Buckner's force defeated and enemy cavalry battalion at Keyser Ford, marched north and defeated a mixed force at Newtown, moved east and defeated a Union force at Strawderman, and then continued east to Cedar Grove. He met a Federal infantry regiment (identified as the 1st Ohio Volunteer Infantry) and a section of artillery on the east side of town. Buckner advanced with the 2nd Kentucky on the left and 3rd Kentucky on the right and engaged the enemy. His artillery, however, failed to find a suitable firing position and moved further to the rear.

Federal infantry held firmly around a barn, as a section of 6 lb smoothbores on the right of the Union line opened up on the 2nd Kentucky with canister. Buckner finally met his match and retired back to Strawderman.
