Status - John Baer - 40th Indiana Regiment - Crittenden's Corps - Wood's Division - Wagner's Brigade
Crittenden's corps has been ordered to have reached the Glasgow, KY area by the 31st and is moving in that directions from London, KY where their pursuit of the Rebel army was discontinued.
By the 28th, Buell is still not aware of his own dismissal, as General Rosecrans has not yet reached his headquarters with the relevant orders. He was continuing the move toward Nashville with plans to move on the Confederate army now gathering at Murfreesboro, while also making deployments for the protection of Kentucky during the coming winter.
Rosecrans telegraphs on the 28th that he is leaving Cincinnati for Buell's headquarters the next morning.
