NKY History Hour: The Aftermath of the Battle of Perryville

After more than 7,500 soldiers were killed and wounded in 1862 at the Battle of Perryville, the largest and most significant Civil War battle fought in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the burden of caring for the injured and sick fell upon the town's 300 inhabitants and citizens of other nearby communities.
Join Stuart Sanders, author of "Perryville Under Fire: The Aftermath of Kentucky's Largest Civil War Battle," to learn about what happened when the firing stopped.
Sanders is the former executive director of the Perryville Battlefield Preservation Association and has written for a wide variety of magazines and journals. His op-ed pieces about Kentucky history regularly appear in newspapers across the Commonwealth. He is also the author of four books, including "Murder on the Ohio Belle," "Perryville Under Fire: The Aftermath of Kentucky’s Largest Civil War Battle," "The Battle of Mill Springs, Kentucky" and "Maney’s Confederate Brigade at the Battle of Perryville."
Hosted by Shane Noem and Tara Johnson-Noem, vice president of the BCM Board of Trustees, "NKY History Hour" is a weekly offering of Behringer-Crawford Museum focused on Northern Kentucky history, featuring local authors, historians and archaeologists. "NKY History Hour" presentations are currently free to the public but may become a BCM members-only benefit in the future.
