The First Battle of Collierville (October 11, 1863), also known as the Battle of Collierville, was a battle in the Western Theater of the American Civil War. ==Prelude== On Sunday, October 11, 1863, the Confederate forces of Confederate Brigadier-General James Chalmers, advanced from its base in Oxford, Mississippi to attack the Federal garrison at Collierville. His forces consisted of the 7th, 12th, 13th and 14th Tennessee Cavalry, the 1st, 3d, 12th, and 18th Mississippi Cavalry and the 2d Missouri Cavalry, along with Buckner's Battery. Buckner's Battery was armed with a 6-pound, a 10-pound and four breech-loading, rapid-fire Williams Guns. Federal forces were commanded by Colonel De Witt Anthony of the 66th Indiana Infantry, which had established defenses at the railroad depot and a stockade having -high walls and also along a line of rifle-pits. Chalmers' plan was to approach from the south and cut the telegraph lines, burn the railroad trestles, and surround the fort. The 7th Tennessee and 13th Tennessee and 2d Missouri (Confederate) Cavalry regiments were to attack from the west, while Richardson's Brigade consisting of the 12th, 13th, and 14th Tennessee and the 12th Mississippi Cavalry attacked from the east. The artillery supported by the 18th Mississippi Battalion was placed on a ridge in the center within 600 yards of the fort and railroad depot. 3d Mississippi State Cavalry and 1st Mississippi Partisan Rangers were sent around the right flank for an attack from the north and gain possession of the town.
