Buell, under pressure from the government to take aggressive action, had almost been relieved of duty (only the personal reluctance of George H. Thomas to assume command from his superior at the start of a campaign prevented it).
As he approaches Perryville, Kentucky, he begins to concentrate his army in the face of Confederate forces there.
Bragg is not initially present with his army, having decided to attend the inauguration ceremony of a Confederate governor of Kentucky in Frankfort.
