Confederates forced his regiment to change routes on their way to reinforce General Buell at Perryville and some of their men were taken prisoner. Although they were unable to reach Buell, he "whipped braggs army with one fourth the men that brag had." Buell, who has "so many troops now that we never can get up close to aid him," pursued Bragg and they fought again. Jones describes the Confederates as ragged and says "most al [are] glad when they are taken prisoners."
