Battle of Perryville
(Here's another one for the History Lovers out there.) This is seriously one of the most important battles of the Civil War, that people seem to forget about it. This was the largest battle fought in the state of Kentucky, and it actually helped change the course of the War, just as Antietam, Gettysburg, and Vicksburg did. In fact, this fight occurred just about three weeks after Antietam. It all started when Confederate General Braxton Bragg decided to launch an invasion of Kentucky during August of 1862. Perryville, Kentucky is a very small town located in Boyle County of no more than 800 people. It was here that one of the Civil War's bloodiest engagements took place. At the time of the Battle of Perryville, the central Kentucky area had been experiencing a severe drought for several months. As a result, the battle had an interesting start: the fight started over getting water. Several pools of water were found at a small creek known as Doctor's Creek, a small tributary of Kentucky's Chaplin River, and the skirmishers of the opposing forces ran in to each other here on the night of October 7, 1862. The battle occurred the next afternoon on October 8. At this time, there were over 16,000 Southern Confederates, and more than 58,000 Midwestern Federals on the field. The entirety of the fighting happened on the Union Army of the Ohio's left flank (or end). This was the 1st Corps of around 22,000 Union soldiers. Lined up along a ridge, these were mostly green, inexperienced recruits. The battle began at about 2:00 PM in the afternoon, with the attacks of Confederate brigades (large groups of infantry/foot soldiers) under General's Maney, Donelson, and Johnson being carried out until nightfall. They were all under the command of Major General Benjamin F. Cheatham, who led the entire division. The Rebels were also reinforced by the brigade of General Liddell during the final hours of the engagement. Unlike most of the Union troops, these Confederates were seasoned veterans. The Confederates pushed Union brigades back off the first ridge, and then another, until the forces finally stood their ground backed by artillery guns and halted the advance of the tired Southerners. The fighting was also more intense here then a lot of battles and skirmishes of the Civil War. In one account, it was said that "the fighting became so heavy that the slopes of the hills became slippery with blood." One of the most shocking aspects about this considerably-unknown fight is that the other two Union Corps of about 36,000 men were actually held at bay and never entered the fighting because of skirmishing by 1,000 Southern Cavalrymen under Joseph Wheeler. His presence was actually enough to prevent those Union soldiers that more than doubled the Rebels from swinging around and crushing them. The Confederates finally withdrew on the night of October 8th when they realized they were outnumbered by several times the size of their force. Casualties where very high: The Union defenders lost an estimated 845 killed, over 2,800 wounded, and around 500 captured. Southern Confederate casualties, though a little bit lighter, were still quite much: They suffered roughly 510 killed, 2,600 wounded, and more than 200 captured as prisoners-of-war.

Brenanaz (love it!)
I impressed and made my best friend laugh when he saw I was drinking out of it. That was worth all the cash in the world
I love this mug , it is the best present I have ever received, it reminds me of what I was snd where I am today. I am praying for my own downfall
Love it! No issues at any part in the process
A gift for my sis who got betrayed by her supposed to be friend. His loss for ever RIH stan
Speedy shipping and as always love the mug especially since I created the word!
My brother is a marathon runner, but he’s British. Instead of drinking water from a bottle like a sane person, he uses this to drink his black tea during runs. Now I can die in peace knowing he’s drinking from a mug with the definition of the word “objectumsexual” for some reason.
Bought this without checking the back for my 12 year old cousin's birthday who adores trains! He's a lil autistic. I thought to 'run a train' meant to work on it and keep it running, much like my cousin is always talking about how he wants to drive a train. I was distraught to hear him turn over the mug on his bday in front of his two very strict puritan parents. My auntie and uncle are threatening to put me on a list now and threatening to sue me for defamation or some shit idk i didnt go to law school cus im not a nerd lols. (unlike them who both went to university) i got a kick ass job as a bouncer for an under 18s club - youd be surprised how big 12 year olds get- but they are just stupid. im worried i might get fired if this leaks.) Thanks a bunch! (sarcasn) - im feeling p down atm, if anyone could cheer me up, my number is 0800 1111, if anyone wants to do whats on the mug LOL (serious). btw, i kept the mug for myself since i found it decently adequate and quite tasteful. /srs
Thanks guys, I knew I was hot but not *that* hot
Great way to wake up and clear your head every morning with the reminder of the day you woke up dumb enough to spend $32.95 for a basic coffee mug
Couldn't wait until the mug got home. Immediately after i bought it i wet myself. I couldn't help it. I got so bored of waiting i ordered 5 more mugs. And then another 5. And then ANOTHER 5. And now i have fucking 60 mugs that say schizophrenia on them. I only intended on gifting this mug to my schizophrenic younger sibling as a last gift before i inevitably must suffocate him with his own pillow. Now with all these mugs and have decided to put one mug on the old couple across the street's doorstep each day until eventually they are convinced that they are schizophrenic and see things that aren't there. Next i will get them to be taken to a mental institute where they will be locked up to live in an all-white facility for the rest of their lives. My hope is that i can do this to all of the neighbors on my street so i can finally get enough space so that i can run my hamster experiments in peace without my neighbors always wonder what the small hamster screams coming from my basement are. Anyways nice mug 8/10.
