The Union force was a company under Captain Emil Adams from the 9th Illinois Mounted Infantry regiment. The Confederate force was the 1st Alabama Cavalry, under Lieutenant Colonel Moses W. Hannon.[2] On the morning of January 26, 1864, at around 4:00 a.m., 600 Confederate cavalrymen attacked Athens, which was being held by a Union force of only 100. Even though the Union defenders had no fortifications and were outnumbered six to one, they were able to repulse the Confederate attack and force them into a retreat after a two-hour battle.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://blueandgraytrail.com/year/186401|title=Civil War Timeline/Chronology for January 1864|publisher=Blue and Grey Trail.com|accessdate=2016-08-19}} [2]2. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Battle Summary|url=https://www.nps.gov/abpp/battles/al002.htm|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=23 September 2016}} }} External links
