1863 Battle of Murfreesboro 1. CIVIL WAR Rosecrans Stones River Tennessee MAPS. William Rosecrans was a 19.

Army officer who served in the Civil War under Ulysses S Grant. While leading the Army of the Cumberland in the Tennessee campaign, Rosecrans was met with disaster as the Confederates broke through his lines and ultimately forced the Union out of Tennessee. Shortly after these events, General Grant removed Rosecrans from his post, taking away his command and reassigning him elsewhere.
