“On entering [Murfreesboro] . . . what a sight met my eyes! Prisoners entering every street, ambulances bringing in the wounded, every place crowded with the dying, the Federal General [Joshua W.] Sill, lying dead in the courthouse - killed Wednesday (December 31st) - Frank Crosthwait’s (20th TN) lifeless corpse stretched on a counter. . . . The churches were full of wounded, where the doctors were amputating legs and arms.”
- Mrs Bromfield L. Ridley, her husband and sons fought in the battle, whom she found safe later
