PERRYVILLE

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 185 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PERRYVILLE , a town of Boyle county, Kentucky, U.S.A., about lo m. W. of Danville. Pop. (1910), 407. Here on the 8th of October 1863 General Braxton
Bragg
 , in command of the Confederate army of the
Mississippi
  of about 16,000 men, with which he had invaded Kentucky, faced about in his slow
retreat
  across the state and gave
battle
  to the
Union
  army of the
Ohio
  of about 40,000 (of whom only about 22,000 were actually engaged) commanded by Major-General Don Carlos
Buell
 .
Bragg
 's order to attack was disregarded by Major-General Leonidas Polk, who preferred adopting the " defensive-offensive" rather than engage all of
Buell
 's force. Bragg himself came on the field about to a.m. and repeated his orders for an attack, but it was 2 p.m. before there was an actual engagement. Then after much delay on Polk's
part
  the Confederate army joined
battle
  with McCook's corps. The Confederate lines were broken and driven back through Perryville, where caissons, ammunition wagons and 140
officers
  and men were captured. Darkness had now come on, and in the night Bragg withdrew. His losses were reported as 510 killed, 2635 wounded and 251 missing. The
Union
  loss was 845 killed, 2851 wounded and 515 captured or missing. The battle was
drawn
  tactically, but strategically it was a Union victory and it virtually closed Bragg's unsuccessful Kentucky campaign, which is sometimes called the Perryville campaign.
