Richmond KY007

supportedunresolved Cist says cavalry reported on the 29th a large enemy advance with heavy infantry driving in the pickets; NPS says Manson informed Nelson of his situation that night.

Summaries of reports, not inspected messages. What Nelson knew and when is not established.

No battle-specific supply, ammunition or transport return was inspected. Training descriptions are not logistics measures.

supportedunresolved NPS says Kirby Smith ordered Cleburne to attack in the morning and promised reinforcements; Manson ordered a brigade toward the Confederates. Cist says Manson advanced to support the pickets.

Summarized orders and immediate objectives, not inspected original orders.

supportedpost_outcome The frozen result remains Confederate victory.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen casualty text reads 5,650 total (US 4,900; CS 750); the live NPS field reads 6223 total (US 5623; CS 600;). NPS narrative says approximately 4,000 captured; Cist gives 225 killed, 600 wounded and over 2,000 captured, with Confederate losses over 900 killed and wounded.

Original casualty returns were not inspected; preserve totals, categories, cutoffs and differences. No canonical reconciliation or casualty-based opening count; related actions must not be added without resolving population overlap.

supportedunresolved NPS says Manson commanded Union forces in the area and Cleburne led the Confederate advance until Smith and Nelson arrived and took command; Cist likewise says Nelson assumed command on arriving.

The frozen principal commanders arrived during the engagement. Field and army command are distinct; neither receives automatic sole credit, and no exact transfer clock is established. The live heading ranks Smith as Lieutenant General, against the frozen Major General; the heading is not adopted.

supportedinherited Cist says a new department under H. G. Wright had been created, taking this area from Buell's command, and that Wright ordered Nelson to Lexington.

Inherited command structure for the Union side, from an interested retrospective history; no original order inspected.

No inspected return establishes matched personnel at a common opening boundary. The frozen side-specific numerical strength bounds are blank (missing_numeric_strength). No figure in this pass is adopted as a simultaneous opening force.

supportedunresolved The frozen force field names formations without counts; the live NPS field reads zero. Cist gives Nelson's entire command as some 7,000 and the Confederate force as 12,000 with 36 guns.

Cist's figures are retrospective estimates of whole commands, not matched engaged populations at an opening boundary. NPS says troops joined both sides during the day. Live zeros are not measured absence.

supportedunresolved Cist says the troops Nelson collected were nearly all new regiments, hastily gathered, without drill or discipline.

Attributed description of the Union force's composition, not a readiness score or inspected return.

supportedunresolved NPS places Manson's August 30 battle line near Zion Church. Cist describes a line about two miles from Richmond on the 29th and, on the 30th, a line beyond Rogersville, a new line a mile to the rear that was badly posted, the previous day's line, and a last stand at the camps.

Sequential positions, not map-verified terrain. 'Badly posted' is Cist's retrospective judgment.
