9 While encamped at Mossy Creek and Talbott's Station, Union Brig. Gen
While encamped at Mossy Creek and Talbott's Station, Union Brig. Gen. Samuel D. Sturgis received a report on the night of December 28, 1863, that a brigade of Confederate cavalry had gone into camp that afternoon near Dandridge south of Mossy Creek. Sturgis thought that the Confederates were split and decided to meet, defeat, and possibly capture the encamped Confederate cavalry.

10 Sturgis ordered a portion of his troops out of Mossy Creek and Talbott's Station toward Dandridge.
After these forces had left, Maj. Gen. William T. Martin, commander of Lt. Gen. James Longstreet's Confederate cavalry who were encamped at Panther Creek near Morristown, attacked the small Federal force at Talbott's Station at 9:00 a.m. on December 29. Union forces slowly fell back to Mossy Creek and Sturgis sent messages to his troops on the way to Dandridge to return promptly if they found no enemy there.

11 The Confederates advanced on Mossy Creek, driving the Federals in front of them.
Finding no enemy forces in Dandridge, the Union troops returned to Mossy Creek and joined the battle. Around 3:00 p.m. Union soldiers began driving the Confederates back out of Mossy Creek towards Talbott's Station and Panther Creek.

12 By dark, the Confederates were back to their original location at Panther Creek.
Since it was late in the season, Union Commander Martin chose to retreat from the area back towards Morristown for the winter. After the victory at Mossy Creek, the Union held the line at Talbott's Station for some time.
