The battlefield at Shiloh is a real treasure. If anybody is traveling in the area, they should plan to stop by for a few hours.
The monuments built after the war are very impressive. Just check out some of the images on this google page for “shiloh battlefield monuments.”
Yeah, Shiloh is a quiet, haunting place that everyone should visit at least once. Although it wasn’t the largest battle of the Civil War, in my opinion is was one of the worst in terms of sheer misery and being a bloody, confused mess.
Yes...Shiloh is a beautiful place, like Gettysburg it is well-marked.
Ever go to Fredricksburg? A union defeat...the government allowed a subdivision to be built on most of Marye’s Hts. You take the park service tour...and the guide points out the places where the union troops were slaughtered as they were led into the confederate trap...and the guide says...”see that house right there, where those kids are shooting hoops...that is where Chamberlains’ Maine unit was pinned down”.
No markers, no nothing, just kids playing basketball on that spot. What a double standard.
Been there a few times with the scouts. They have a small demonstration on the battlefield but the big reenactments are not far from there. Either way, it makes you think about how easy we have it. Off the subject, there are some huge fish in bloody pond.
yes...a nice battlefield...maybe the best flowing one to cover so much ground
it’s still a pastoral setting and has survived well
I just have to ask how Daniela Pestova got on that image url link hoss?
