Battle of Mill Springs

The Battle of Mill Springs, also known as the Battle of Fishing Creek in  Confederate terminology, and the Battle of Logan's Cross Roads in  Union terminology, was fought in Wayne and  Pulaski counties, near current Nancy, Kentucky, on January 19, 1862, as part of the American Civil War. It concluded an early Confederate offensive campaign in eastern Kentucky. While considered a small battle in comparison to many in the Civil War, the battle at Mill Springs was the second largest in Kentucky (only  Perryville had more bloodshed). It was also the first significant Union victory, much celebrated in the popular press, but was soon eclipsed by Ulysses S. Grant's victories at Forts  Henry and  Donelson.
