Nelson's Division led the Federal line, and Chalmers, with his Brigade of onel Joe Wheeler, were the first Confederates to become engaged. Nelson pushed forward with vigor, while the Confederates were ordered to rvision of Bragg's Corps, and the fighting began in good earnest. Nelson's advance was checked, but he quickly pushed forward Hazen's Brigadowever, concentrated his force and sent Hazen back, and then hurled Nelson headlong from the field.
