Perryville
— The Battle for Kentucky October 8, 1862 —
Union Brigadier General William Terrill was nearly panic-stricken. To his surprise, thousands of Confederates swarmed over the fields in front of you, moving toward the Federal lines. The shouts of attacking Southern troops and the crescendo of gunfire echoed among these hills. Terrill's soldiers, mostly new recruits, were still maneuvering into position as they faced the terror of their first battle.HM Number | HMVA7 |
