Perryville, Battle of the largest
Civil War battle in Kentucky, fought near Perryville on Oct. 8, 1862. Confederate commander
Braxton Bragg mistakenly believed that he faced one Union corps at Perryville, but there were actually 58,000 Federal troops in the area. Despite early success in the battle, Bragg withdrew after belatedly learning that he confronted the bulk of Union Gen.
Don Carlos Buell's army. Bragg's army took over 3,000 casualties; Union army totals exceeded 4,000. Soon after, the Confederates retreated into Tennessee, abandoning Bragg's boldly conceived Kentucky invasion.
