Perryville
— The Battle for Kentucky October 8, 1862 —
When Donelson's brigade moved into this valley, they were met with a deadly surprise. The rolling terrain had prevented the Confederates from seeing all of the Union troop positions. When the Confederates reached this valley, they became trapped in a deadly crossfire as Union artillery fired at them from both the west and the north.HM Number | HMVAI |
