Croxton was leaving Tuscaloosa, having burned the University of Alabama on April 4.[3] The 6th Kentucky Cavalry Regiment and the 2nd Michigan Volunteer Cavalry Regiment engaged with Adams' forces.[4] Union casualties were three killed in action, eight wounded, sixty-eight captured. Adams's Confederate force suffered nine killed, twenty-five wounded, and one captured.[5] References1. ^{{cite gnis|155209|Pleasant Ridge}} {{Greene County, Alabama}}{{Alabama-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.postalhistory.com/postoffices.asp?task=display&state=AL&county=Tuscaloosa | title=Tuscaloosa County | publisher=Jim Forte Postal History | accessdate=30 November 2015}} 3. ^{{cite book|author=Willis Brewer|title=Alabama, Her History, Resources, War Record, and Public Men: From 1540 to 1872|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QogshH4pd50C&pg=PA260|year=1872|publisher=Barrett & Brown|pages=260}} 4. ^{{cite book|author=Benson John Lossing|title=The Pictorial Field Book of the Civil War in the United States of America|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=k9wSAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA2-PA521|year=1874|publisher=T.
