Tour the Bottom House at Perryville: Civil War Kentucky

Join Stuart Sanders and Joni House for this exclusive tour of the Henry P. Bottom House on the Perryville Battlefield, which originally served as a field hospital after the battle. The house still shows bullet hole damage and features an upstairs bedroom that Ed Bearss himself slept in while visiting Perryville.
Please note that the Bottom House is a private residence. This is an inside-look that is generally not available to the public.
Please disregard the poor audio quality as best as you can. We unfortunately had a malfunctioning microphone.
Look for our numerous videos on TH-cam over the next week, and special thanks to all the donors who helped make this trip possible!

My 3rd Great Grandfather, James M. Leach of the 37th Tennessee Infantry was fighting at that position. Thank you so much for this video! Take care!

[@FuzzyBears..]

Thank you for the video
I love my Kentucky!!!!!

[@kennethmay5624]

Was able to photograph in and around the house during 150th Reenactment....

[@Stiglr]

That surely *was* a special way to end this video!! RIP Mr. Bearss!!!
Otherwise, the audio wasn't *that* bad... I've surely heard worse. I just got finished reading a book on Perryville, and this video helped stir the "inner eye" and paint a picture. Especially the descriptions I read of the stone walls going up the hill near the Bottom house; now I can see them!!
Love the work you folks do... and I'm hoping you can get down to Mill Springs?

[@user-jq8wr8ru2s]

What a great video and nice tour. Thank you!

[@blukeblue1235]

Thanks for great video! There seems to be a conflict of accounts; the written account that was read said soldiers were operated on in the surgeons tent "outside" the house. The presenter said the arms and legs were thrown from the upstairs Windows...?

[@shaneollice2470]

Soldiers were operated on in the yard as well as in the house. There is evidence of operations going on in the house. There is blood stains on the wooden floors and on a door under a bed in an upstairs bedroom.
