When informed of the beginning of the battle by Col Jesse Appler, commander, 53rd Ohio regiment, was concerned and sent out a reconnaissance party. The party soon made contact, and Appler formed his regiment and sent an officer to report to Sherman. The officer soon returned with Sherman's reply, " Take your **** regiment to Ohio. There is no enemy nearer than Corinth!"
