Realignment, Again

The Seventeenth Kentucky, having been detached from Ammen's 10th Brigade, Nelson's Fourth Division, Army of the Ohio at Pulaski, have now been assigned to the 9th Brigade of Col. L. A. Harris in  Gen. L. H. Rousseau's Third Division of  the I Army Corps commanded by Gen. Alexander McD. McCook.

They are not included in various listings of the I Corps associated with the Battle of Perryville and other reports of this time period, possibly because of their detached assignments.  However, the following bit of book keeping was dated July 17, 1862 by General D. C. Buell.

The July 18th entry from Captain Cox, reflects the restful life he had been anticipating.
