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.

The winners get to write history. At Shiloh, all the monuments were to Union units except for a DOC statue.
