Battle of Tuliffiny-- Part 1: What About Its Name?


Two posts ago, I wrote about the German Light Artillery being at this battle.  I'd never heard of this battle before, so did some further research on it.

The engagement was listed as the Battle of Tulliffiny Creek in the post.  Looking it up, I found the name was spelled Tuliffiny, but with a double "l".  Then it was referred to as Battle of Tuliffiny Station and I've also seen it referred to as the Battle of Tuliffiny Creek.

This probably was due to Confederates naming engagements after towns or places and the Union naming them after water.

I will just be calling it the Battle of Tuliffiny.
