The Battle of Perryville laid waste to more than just soldiers and
their supplies. The commonwealth's largest combat engagement also
took an immense toll on the community of Perryville, and citizens
in surrounding towns. After Confederates achieved a tactical
victory, they were nonetheless forced to leave the area. With more
than 7,500 casualties, the remaining Union soldiers were unprepared
for the enormous tasks of burying the dead, caring for the wounded,
and rebuilding infrastructure. Instead, this arduous duty fell to
the brave and battered locals. Former executive director of the
Perryville Battlefield Preservation Association Stuart Sanders
presents the first in depth look into how the resilient residents
dealt with the chaos of this bloody battle and how they rebuilt
their town from the rubble leftover.
