{"product_id":"the-grey-people-of-perryville-henry-adams-9798235530034","title":"The Grey People Of Perryville","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn October 8, 1862, the fields around Perryville, Kentucky, became the scene of one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. Thousands of men were killed, wounded, captured, or left missing across farmland, fences, hills, homes, roads, and makeshift hospitals. Long after the guns fell silent, Perryville remained marked by the dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver time, stories began to gather around the battlefield and the old town. Visitors, residents, reenactors, and paranormal investigators have spoken of grey figures moving through the mist, ghostly soldiers seen in the fields, unexplained footsteps in historic buildings, shadowed forms near old roads, and strange presences lingering where wounded men once suffered. Some call them apparitions. Others call them memories of war. Around Perryville, they have become known as the Grey People.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Grey People of Perryville explores the haunted reputation of Kentucky's Civil War battlefield through documented history, local tradition, battlefield folklore, and reported paranormal encounters. From the brutal fighting of 1862 to the homes used as hospitals, from Merchant's Row to burial grounds and lonely stretches of battlefield land, this book examines how trauma, memory, death, and legend became bound together in one of Kentucky's most atmospheric historic places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in a serious nonfiction style, this book does not sensationalise the dead or turn tragedy into myth. Instead, it looks closely at the stories that remain: the soldiers who never seemed to leave, the figures seen walking through fog, the uneasy silence of preserved ground, and the question that still hangs over Perryville.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAre the Grey People merely echoes of history, shaped by grief and imagination?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOr does something still move across the battlefield after dark?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry Adams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798235530034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry Adams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Henry Adams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874723574015,"sku":"9798235530034","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-grey-people-of-perryville-henry-adams-9798235530034","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
