Correspondence from Perryville: Pluck to the Backbone - Paperback

by Jamie Gillum (Author)

Correspondence from Perryville is a collection of newspaper accounts that relate the story of the Battle of Perryville in vivid detail. The scope ranges from the days following the battle to the post-war turn of the century. The accounts are mostly related in their entirety and without interruption. The greater majority of the accounts have escaped the eyes of the historian for nearly one-hundred and fifty years. Learn how the battle was reported in the days and months following the battle. The collection enables the reader to tap into long forgotten eyewitness accounts from the bloody fight that tell the tragic story of individuals' experiences and unit actions. Names are related that have long since been forgotten, and their acts of valor revisited and preserved for a new generation.
