The Battle of Perryville: Civil War Kentucky 

My great great great grandfather John A. Pock served in the 10th Indiana which was at Perryville.

Nice to see the next generation carrying torch. These Battlefields are I great hands. Keep up the good work. History needs you.♥️👍

My great great grandfather was in Company H of the 41st Georgia. This was their baptism of fire in a major engagement. I believe they were on the right flank or the end of the line. They were fortunate to be with the Tennessee regiments. At the time I visited the land of the attack was on personal property. He and two brother in laws and one cousin were in Company H. They survived this battle They laid under the guns of Parson,s Battery and charged it head on. It was incredible that they took the three ridges with minimal reinforcements. I walked this ground in awe and honor.

I'll be at Perryville this October portraying the 24th Illinois Infantry during the 160th anniversary.

My first protected battlefield that I visited from the Civil War. Absolutely wonderful field

Perryville is a nice battlefield to visit.

Perryville has always been my favorite battlefield. Thanks for sharing!

Taylor makes me proud of our youth and gives me total assurance and rest that these historic men, moments and locations will forever be remembered! Never stop studying!

I went to Perryville for the first time in October of 2019. My 2nd Great Grandfather and his brother, John Henry Coker and Albert Coker, were both teenagers in the 33rd Mississippi in Wood's Brigade. I was very impressed with the battlefield and especially the open nature of the terrain. Almost like Napoleonic War battlefields in Europe.

i recently went to the Perryville battlefield and i found this part of the battle the most interesting.

Defence in depth on those rolling ridgelines saved the day and exhausted the Rebels. Sam Watkins said it was the toughest fight he was ever in which is significant cos he was in a lot of the battles in the West. Thanks for providing the visuals for something I'd mainly pictured from reading about the battle. Great to see wildlife thriving too.

Very good, even with the distorted audio!!! Thanks Garry and company!

After going to the dry canteen trail, we on the next day, went to Fort Harold in Harrodsburg Ky. Great week-end.

So to summarize the Battle of Perryville: Braxton Bragg’ ”wins” a tactical victory, but loses the State of Kentucky for the confederacy. On the other hand, Don Carlos Buell “wins” a strategic victory by losing a tactical engagement, keeps the State of Kentucky for the Union for the rest of the civil war but loses his command never to be reinstated. 1862, got to love it, lose by winning and win by losing

Thanks for the upload. Great info.

I had an ancestor who was Captain of Co. E, 41st GA INF (Maney's Bgd). Mortally wounded taking Parson's guns.

I have walked the Scouts version on the dry canteen badge one gets when they walk it. 10 miles.

My great great grand father was 21 Wisconsin. He got out unscathed. He never talked about the aftermath.

Tylers shirt... such a OO7 looking Lincoln... hahahahahahahaha... great video as always.

Great Job guys. Happy Thanksgiving!!

*CONSERVATION & HISTORY GO HAND-IN-HAND*

Where did Taylor Bishop get the cool Lincoln T-Shirt he has on for the Loomis Heights presentation? Also where did Gerry Adelman get his Fedora Hat? One other suggestion, use a drone with a camera to fly over the battlefield.

You were right, a great presentation..

audio issues wont hinder those of us that are actually eager to listen

I m very glad they also did nature conservation as well!

Wish I could’ve attended the battle this year darn 2020

The battle was when Ky. had a very dry spell. No water anywhere.

I'm a descendent of John Kilgore who was at the battle of Perryville Let’s Start With His Obit: “An old battle-scarred veteran passed suddenly to his reward yesterday in the person of John Kilgore. He had been living with his son, William B. Kilgore in the First Ward, and got up in the morning in good spirits and ate his usual breakfast. Half an hour later he was dead. Apoplexy seized him and the old man, past 75 years of age, yielded an easy victim. He was a character in his day and was known by everybody. He talked of the Civil War almost constantly. He was not out in the service long, but he was there long enough to prove that his courage was undaunted in the cause. He went out with the 98th Regiment of the Ohio Voluntary Infantry in the summer of ’62 and was assigned to Company G. In October of that year in the battle of Chapline Hill, near Perryville, Ky., John Kilgore received 24 bullet wounds and one shell wound. He lay in the hospital till the spring of ’63 when he received an honorable discharge and came home to get along the best he could, carrying in different parts of his body, as he believed, 14 bullets that were never found, and he died in the belief that he carried these to the grave with him.”

The audio is not distorted hard to understand

did the guy in the blue shirt drink about 20 cups of coffee before filming this?

if you shoot outdoors why not invest in mic windscreens it will help alot

Guys, I think, I sort of know what you mean, BUT to describe a battlefield as such a "beautiful place" and "a prettier battlefield" , where men died in horrific ways - fighting furiously - losing limbs, being decapitated, receiving fascial disfigurement wounds, losing life - I think is more than a little insensitive to those who laid on that ground you'er standing on - either dead or in misery. I know you all get pretty excited about the War but you might do another take when you find yourselves getting carried away with such glowing descriptions of the solemn places you visit.

I can't wait for this reenactment the energy on the night of the 8th after the fighting will bring some spooky stuff perryville is one of the most haunted civil war battlefields the is and the audio is probably because of the wind blowing on top or the spirits on parsons ridge collecting the energy to manifest themselves

Gary, your voice is deeper...need to lay off the cigars and brandy parties

Wow you're all so excited about history. You are talking so fast....
