Wilder Forces Hit Saulsbury After Confederate Retreat
On April 9 at Murfreesboro two Wilder's men from the 72d Indiana were captured after leaving Taylorsville on the 3rd. John Vance survived after being shot thrice in the head and Benjamin Montgomery was killed instantly. Captain French and Cartwright fired the shots, taking two rings from Montgomery’s finger to send to his sweetheart. Wilder’s cavalry then burned part of Saulsbury, including the home of a noted guerrilla. The latest actions boosted Union cavalry morale.
