Federal Brigade at Perryville 2016

Re: Federal Brigade at Perryville 2016

From William Anderson, AAG

"The One hundred and twenty-third Illinois Volunteers, being the advance regiment, arrived upon the ground first. It was marching by the flank right in front, and the rebels at the time could be seen within 200 yards advancing to occupy the same ground. The One hundred and twenty-third was immediately brought to face the enemy. The position of the parties unluckily threw the rear rank in front, which produced much confusion, the regiment being a new one. For 100 yards in front of them the ground was clear. The rebels were advancing in and protected by the woods beyond. They commenced pouring a heavy fire into the ranks of the One hundred and twenty-third, to which they nobly responded. Parsons’ battery immediately took position in the rear of the One hundred and twenty-third. Six of his guns were brought to bear upon the enemy and drove them back. At this instant General Jackson was shot dead. He, with General Terrill, had been standing to the left of Parsons’ battery, encouraging the men to stand to their places."

At this time the brigade has no plans to participate in the Friday Tactical. Brigade staff and Battalion commanders will have enough to do on Friday.
