ANSWER

The General Philip Sheridan. His division succeeded in withstanding and holding its position for several hours during the first day of battle, against the assaults of three Confederate divisions: that of Cheatham and two divisions of the II Corps of General Hardee.

Sheridan's brilliant resistance gained the necessary time to allow the Union Army Commander, Gen. Rosencrans to reorganize the retreating Union divisions of his right wing and create a new battle array.
