My Great Grandfather James F. Miller of the 154th senior Tennessee Infantry was captured in this battle. Paroled, he was ordered back into secesh service with the same unit. He fought at Missionary Ridge, Kennesaw and Nashville. There he was captured on 12/15/64 and sent to camp Douglas, released in June 1865.
Thank you for covering the battle of Perryville
It's a battle that doesn't get enough attention!
