Shiloh National Military Park Tour
Seeing Shiloh National Military Park with adult eyes was very different for us. We had been there as teens (separately), but now it was so much more meaningful. Join us for a tour of this Civil War Battlefield.
From the park's website: Shiloh National Military Park contains a wide array of historic sites. In addition to the battlefield of Shiloh itself, the park contains a separate unit at Corinth, Mississippi, that preserves and interprets the Siege and Battle of Corinth. Located within the boundaries of Shiloh Battlefield is also a United States National Cemetery, which contains around 4,000 soldiers and their family members.

About The Battle of Shiloh:
The Battle of Shiloh was a battle in the Western Theater of the American Civil War, fought April 6–7, 1862, in southwestern Tennessee. Wikipedia
Location: Hardin County, Tennessee, TN
Dates: Apr 6, 1862 – Apr 7, 1862
Result: Union victory
Did you know: Battle of Shiloh is the seventh-costliest land battle of the American Civil War (23,746 casualties).
Battle of Shiloh, also called Battle of Pittsburg Landing, (April 6–7, 1862), second great engagement of the American Civil War, fought in southwestern Tennessee, resulting in a victory for the North and in large casualties for both sides. In February, Union General Ulysses S. Grant had taken Fort Henry on the Tennessee River and Fort Donelson on the Cumberland. The Confederates had acknowledged the importance of these forts by abandoning their strong position at Columbus, Kentucky, and by evacuating Nashville. Grant’s next aim was to attack the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, and to this end he encamped his troops on the Tennessee at Pittsburg Landing. At this point General A.S. Johnston, commanding Confederate forces in the West, and General P.G.T. Beauregard were collecting a force aimed at recovering some of their recent losses. Since Union troops were planning an offensive, they had not fortified their camps. To their surprise, General Johnston seized the initiative and attacked Grant before reinforcements could arrive. The battle was fought in the woods by inexperienced troops on both sides. Johnston was mortally wounded on the first afternoon. Despite a rallying of Northern troops and reinforcements for the South, the battle ended the next day with the Union army doing little more than reoccupying the camp it had lost the day before while the Confederates returned to Corinth, Mississippi. Although both sides claimed victory, it was a Confederate failure; both sides were immobilized for the next three weeks because of the heavy casualties—about 10,000 men on each side. The Shiloh National Military Park (established 1894) commemorates the battle.
Shiloh National Military Park
This is one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. Just one year after the war's start, Gen. Grant felt that he could shorten the war, if he could cut the South's supply lines coming from the west by rail. Corinth, MS was Grant's goal. However, Gen. Johnston's army was close by, and the battle of Shiloh took place over two days in April. Grant was victorious, however the war raged on for 3 more years.

Heritage Travel Campaign-Part 17 (Shiloh National Military Park)
Part 17 of my Heritage travel campaign.
I visited the Shiloh National Military Park, located in Hardin County, Tennessee.
The Battle of Shiloh, also known as the Battle of Pittsburgh Landing, was a battle in the American Civil War that was fought on April 6th & 7th in 1862.
On April 6th, a Union force of about 45,000 (Army of the Tennessee) led by General Ulysses S. Grant, was confronted by a smaller Confederate force of just over 40,000 (Army of Mississippi) led by General Albert S. Johnston, in a surprise attack on Grant's base in Corinth, Mississippi.
Johnston was mortally wounded in the attack and General P.G.T. Beauregard assumed command of the Army of Mississippi.
Beauregard was against a night attack after his Army's victory after the first day, as he wanted his exhausted men to rest and be ready for the next day.
But during the night of the first day, one of Grant's own divisions reinforced his Army, as well as three divisions from the Army of the Ohio, led by General Don Carlos Buell.
On April 7th, now with numbers of about 63,000, Union forces launched a surprise counterattack in the morning and erased the previous day's Confederate gains.
The Battle of Shiloh was a Union victory.
Casualties (dead, wounded, captured, missing) from both sides totaled about 23,700 (13,000 Union, 10,700 Confederate).

A Glittering Lie — The True Battle of Shiloh
Professor CJ of the Dangerous History Podcast (ProfCJ.org) joins Chris Calton to tell the story of Shiloh from the perspective of two soldiers, from their own personal memoirs of the battle. One story follows the experiences of Henry Morton Stanley, a twenty-one-year-old Confederate. The other story involves the sixteen-year-old John Cockerill, a Union drummer boy. These two eloquently written memoirs illustrate the true history of the Civil War better than any account of officer deaths or battlefield tactics.
Chris Calton recounts the controversial history of the Civil War. This is the 53rd episode in the third season of Historical Controversies. You may support this podcast financially at Mises.org/SupportHC.
