Question. Did the enemy retreat from Perryville on the evening and night of the battle?

I have so understood since.

Question. What answer did you make to Colonel Fry's telegram or message to know why you had not commenced the attack?

I cannot remember; but I have no doubt, if I answered it at all, it was because I had received no order at that time. I took the note, however, as I did all orders and notes of that kind, immediately to General Thomas, and it is possible I may have left General Thomas to answer it, he being present on the field and my commanding officer.

Question. State the movements of your division [corps] and the parts of it day by day from the morning of the battle of Perryville till the next and the retrograde movement in pursuing Bragg, and by those orders these various movements were made.

As I have before stated, I cannot remember positively where I encamped on the night of the 9th, whether at Crawford Spring or whether I moved farther out and went across to Harlan's with two of my divisions. One division encamped on or near the road from Perryville to Danville. I cannot state whether I got the orders from General Buell or from General Thomas to move from these camps. I cannot state precisely on what day I did move up to the Danville and Harrodsburg road, nor can I state with any certainly the day when I marched from Danville. My command moved from Danville to Stanford somewhere about the middle of October, from Stanford to Crab Orchard, and from there to Mount Vernon and Wild Cat, with the skirmishing that I have already mentioned. I think that we commenced the retrograde movement about the 22nd or 23rd from Wild Cat or about that time.

Question. How many miles per day were made in the pursuit of Bragg from Perryville?

We marched from Harlan's to Danville and the Harrodsburg road, which I suppose is not more than 6 or 7 miles. I marched from Danville to a little beyond Stanford, which is somewhere about 10 or 12 miles; I do not remember precisely. From Stanford we marched to beyond Crab Orchard, some 5 or 6 miles I think, and from there to Mount Vernon with a portion of the command, and a portion of it went beyond Mount Vernon. I cannot remember precisely whether we went from this point to Wild Cat in one day or not; I rather think we did, as the roads were more obstructed between Mount Vernon and Wild Cat by the felling of trees than at any other point; it was a more favorable country for the enemy to resist our advance. After leaving Danville we did not halt any day. These marches were made on consecutive days, and I think we moved as rapidly as we could have done.

Question. Please look at the map and state the points by and through which Bragg's army retreated from Perryville and out of Kentucky.

From Harrodsburg Bragg passed to Camp Dick Robinson, as I understood; marched through Lancaster, Crab Orchard, Mount Vernon, and London; after leaving London I do not remember what points he passed through. Bragg's entire force did not all go back by that road, so I understood; some of them I know got out by the road leading from Richmond to London.

Question. You command led the advance in the pursuit of the rebel army toward London; please give your opinion whether the rebel army, as estimated by some officers from 55,000 to 65,000 men, was driven out of Kentucky, baffled and disappointed, or did it, in your judgment, march out at its ease, with all its transportation?

I think the army of the Confederates was driven from Kentucky, baffled and defeated in all its purposes, except perhaps that of carrying away some subsistence and some clothing.

Question. Are you personally acquainted with Brigadier-General Fry; if so, how far, in your estimation, would his statement of facts be affected by personal differences?

I am personally acquainted with General Fry, and consider him a man of the very strictest integrity and honor, a man of piety. I consider him a good man, and I do not believe that he would state anything that he did not believe was true.
