At dawn on December 30th the Confederates encountered a supply train about two miles long on the Jefferson Pike and engaged Union forces under Col. John Starkweather’s brigade for nearly two hours before moving even deeper behind enemy lines. Union losses included more than 100 casualties and the loss of twenty wagons burned.
