Crooked Creek - 6:30 - 700 a.m.

The XXIX Corps (US) and I Corps (CS) are extending their lines on opposite sides of Tar Bottom Run, as fighting continues at the junction at the Marshall House.  Tar Bottom Run is wide and swampy, keeping most of the opposing units out of range of each other. Some units had moved into the swampy creek before 6:30 a.m., but have since withdrawn and reformed. The Confederate line due south of Tar Bottom has re-established itself along the Arkansas Post Road.
