October 8, 1862 was the battle of Perryville, another tactical loss by the Union, to Bragg's Army of Mississippi. The American Battlefield Trust, which had acquired 384 acres of private land there, just transferred it to the State of Kentucky, to add to that state's Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site. From the map it looks like this preserves the entire Oct. 8 battlefield.https://www.battlefields.org/learn/m...october-8-1862
I like this organization and have been giving them money for years. Their website is really good, with pages for each battle, including battle maps, as well as information about commanders and individual troops - just about any battle ever fought on US soil.
