- The Civil War Battle of Perryville took place on October 8, 1862. This video was filmed at the reenactment, 160 years, and one day later.
In September 1862, the states of the Union were experiencing an invasion by two Confederate Armies. Robert E. Lee’s Army of North Virginia in Maryland and Braxton Bragg’s Army of Mississippi in Kentucky, not to mention Edmund Kirby Smith’s Army of East Tennessee, who Bragg was hoping to link up with in Kentucky to defeat the Union forces there.
Once Bragg entered Kentucky, Don Carlos Buell’s Army of the Ohio gave chase into the Bluegrass State. Bragg could have engaged Buell around Louisville, but decided to link up with Smith, who was near Lexington and Richmond. Bragg himself, went to Frankfort and installed a Confederate governor and then rejoined his army southwest of Lexington. Buell secured both Louisville and marched toward Bragg’s Army concentrating near the town of Perryville.
The Battle of Perryville opened at about 3 AM on October 8, 1862.

Truly epic time at the 160th Perryville reenactment. Met many new friends from both side of the line .. can't wait to return to this site. Sending you a personal invite to follow our group at facebook.com/1St.Minn.Sharpshooters
Oh my gosh, completely insane! seems like a quite busy reenactment.
Awesome video! I'm temporarily living in Oklahoma for 3-4 years and while down in the State's it looks like I'll be having the awesome opportunity to join a Union artillery reenactment group for a local musuem!
awesome indeed pard. hope you are doing well
Oh my gosh, this is great! The shots you were able to get are amazing!
thanks Pard ... nice to have met you in person.
That was pretty cool. The sunlight through the smoke gave it a surreal atmosphere. Good video.
great time on the field and under canvas ... thanks pard for the comment.
Y'all put on a real fine showing for the folks up there. I was thinking of y'all very early Saturday morning, wondering if y'all were silently getting tickled at so many of us native southerners calling it "cold" that morning lol. Y'all brought some beautiful thunder to Kty. this year, another fine video, and as always God bless all of you good people and yours.
thanks Pard - night time temps were a bit on the cool side - barley above freezing. We had one of guys stay in his "wagon" (truck) running the heater to keep warm. hope you are doing well pard.
@@1stminnsharpshooters341 we had a couple do the same, I don't think any damage was done, but I'm sure there are those who would argue, let em, y'all be safe good folks.
Wish I would've been there
It was amazing, one of my goals for creating videos of events is to capture the fun so that folks that could not make it can at least get a small taste. Perhaps next time pard. If you haven't done so here's an offer to follow our group at facebook.com/1St.Minn.Sharpshooters
@@1stminnsharpshooters341 Awesome
Love the horses shot in the beginning!
Having horses for riders or pulling wagon really bring one back to the 1800. Thanks pard for the comment.
enjoyed seeing the horses and equipment
That looks like a great reenactment! Lots of fun on and off the field!
yes it was pard, great time all around and met some really great reenactors. We will be a the 160th Chickamauga in about 1month .. so look for this video soon pard.
Very nice video. Great scenes and good editing. I like hearing the participants.

Thanks Tim. Great time at this historical battlefield
Great video.
thanks pard! This was the "big" trip for us this last marching season - 14 hour drive. hope you and yours are doing well. --LT
awesome battlefield experience
I loved Perryville, we had a great time there!! 1:59 Me few of my pards did pickett duty there!! I remember marching thoses roads, it was a mighty good time.
100% agree such a great time and experience. For us in Minn a bit of a drive but well worth it. Will you be at Gettysburg 160th?
@@1stminnsharpshooters341 I am sure yet, I because of my car situation and life things going on!! Are you?
8:26 that’s me!
Are you one of the young guys? If so thanks pard for the muscles helping our older gun crew move the piece into position.
@@1stminnsharpshooters341 yes sir no problem. Keep up the content, love it!
I’ve been out to Perryville and Danville KY. before on my way to Campbellsville heading out off I 75 in Richmond. It was in the fall too and it’s so beautiful there in the fall
2nd time me at this site part ... agreed 100% worth seeing, walking the battle field, touring the onsite museum
My great papaw was in the 33rd VA. Infantry in the Stonewall brigade and he fought in MD. at Sharpsburg that same fall of 1862. Lee’s invasions of MD. and PA. get most of the focus and the various KY. invasions by John Hunt Morgan that even got up across the river into Indiana and Ohio don’t get as much focus. Of course at Perryville it was regular confederate forces that invaded whereas John Hunt Morgan was like John Singleton Mosby an irregular confederate partisan
im assuming that most of these guns a 10-pounder Parrott rifle's? if im wong please correct me but very cool seeing the operations.
You are correct Sir 10 pound Parrot rifles. We do live fire these (at the range of course) and this is quite the experience .. for your interest pard at th-cam.com/video/i7x3VxW0uGw/w-d-xo.html
The fog of war
The 5th Louisiana Infantry sends its Regards good sir we shall be in Pennsylvania this summer for Gettysburg
Tip of the hat to your 5th Louisiana - I'm truly looking forward to the 160th Gettysburg - hope you see you on the field or around the camp fire.
@@1stminnsharpshooters341 most definitely DEO VINDICE
It appears FUN has scored 10, authenticity 0.
The gun drill is awful.
how so pard? Keep in mind that each Battery that I've fallen in with as a different interpretation of the same drill manual.
@@1stminnsharpshooters341 there really shouldn’t be ‘different interpretations.’ The manual is the manual.
I’m in the LR and 1st Section and we do the drill as it’s prescribed in the manual.
The most glaring, and most dangerous, problem is the #4. None of them are standing as prescribed and illustrated in the manual and they’re pulling the lanyard immediately after the command ‘FIRE’ while looking away from the piece. This is incredibly dangerous and you should never do it. At the command ‘FIRE’ the #3 should step away from the vent while the #4 remains looking at the piece and the other 3 cannoneers. Once he determines that the piece is clear, he then will pull the lanyard and look away while pulling in a downward motion to protect his face from the flying hook and any possible fragments of the primer.
The command ‘FIRE’ doesn’t fire the gun. It gives control of the gun over to the #4 and it is then at his discretion to declare the piece safe to fire and then actually fire the piece.
There is plenty of other stuff wrong, but that is the most pressing infraction that should be corrected. No #4 should be looking away from the gun at the command ‘READY’ and blindly pulling the lanyard at the command ‘FIRE.’
In these videos you can see the positions of the men and how they move and react to the commands being given.

We all care so much about what you and the Liberal Rifles think about anything. Account after account of trash talk online and bashfulness in person, incredible.
@@westtnskirmishlog6820 sounds like somebody who does made up drill. Maybe read the manual sometime.
