In the meantime Buell had reached Louisville, and began his movement toward Perryville, and on October 7th information was received that Hardee was being pressed by the enemy at that point. At once Cheatham, now at Harrodsburg, was ordered forward. Our forces near Perryville consisted of three divisions of infantry, 14,500 men, and two small brigades of cavalry, ,500 strong. To this, the enemy at first opposed Gilbert's corps of 18,000. General Bragg expected our forces to attack at daylight, and General Buell in his report said, I had somewhat expected an attack earl, and at the close of the day Crittenden's corps was in action.

Bradshaw, of the same regiment, both officers of great merit, were in quick succession severely wounded, when the command devolved upon Capt. Joseph Bostick. In Turner's battery, Lieutenant Smith was severely wounded and Lieutenant Ingram killed. Both shared with Turner the glory won here and at Perryville and Murfreesboro. The First and Twenty-seventh, on the right of Maney, held their position for two hours, as Colonel Feild reported, battling with as many of the enemy as could be brought to bear upon us. We occupied the position after our ammunition was completely exhausted, and then did not retire until the left wing of the brigade had been driven from the field by a movement of the enemy upon its left flank.

He commanded brigades as brigadier-general at Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Perryville, Murfreesboro, a division at Chickamauga and Knoxville, and won promotion on every field.

At Drewry's Bluff and in the battles of the 16th, 17th, 18th and 30th of June, he made his name and regiment famous. Colonel Fulton belonged to a family of heroes. He fought in the ranks at Shiloh, and commanded the Forty-fourth at Perryville, Murfreesboro and Chickamauga, where he was noted for soldierly bearing; and thenceforward was identified with Bushrod Johnson's famous brigade and often in command of it. He never failed to confer distinction upon his regiment and brigade, and
