Guide to the Battle of Shiloh by Jay Luvaas,Stephen Bowman,Leonard Fullenkamp Pdf

One of the bloodiest and most bitterly fought battles of the Civil War took place at Shiloh Church (and Pittsburg Landing) on April 6-7, 1862. The Union, led by Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman, held off a massive Confederate offensive led by Albert Sidney Johnston and P. G. T. Beauregard, paving the way for Union control of the Western Theater. When the fighting ended, nearly 20,000 soldiers were either dead or wounded, and the South had lost one of its ablest commanders in Johnston. Guide to the Battle of Shiloh combines eyewitness accounts of this Tennessee battle with explicit details about advances and retreats, leadership strategies, obstacles, achievements, and tactical blunders. In addition, it provides directions to key points on the battlefield as well as maps depicting the action and details of troop positions, roads, rivers, elevations, and tree lines as they were 130 years ago.

The Battle of Shiloh: A Captivating Guide to the One of the Bloodiest Battles of the American Civil War by Captivating History Pdf

Did you know that the Battle of Shiloh was the bloodiest battle of the US Civil War up to that time? The Battle of Shiloh was fought along the Tennessee River near the border with Mississippi when the Confederates attempted to prevent the Union forces, who were led by future US president Ulysses S. Grant, from seizing the vital railroad junction at Corinth, Mississippi. When the battle began, the forces of the North and the South were equally matched on the battlefield, though the rebels knew they had to move fast in order to avoid the forces under Grant and Union General Don Carlos Buell from uniting on the west side of the Tennessee River. The battle began in the early light of April 6th, 1862, when Union scouts were surprised and stunned by the sight of over nine thousand Confederate troops heading straight for them. In Captivating History's, The Battle of Shiloh, you'll discover: That the battle took its name from a small church whose name, Shiloh, is Hebrew for "place of peace" Maps that will guide you through the stages of the battle A guide to the weapons of the Civil War and their deadly results Portraits of the leading men of the North and South The hell of the "Hornet's Nest," "Sunken Road," "Peach Orchard," and "Bloody Pond" How Union mistakes almost cost them the battle How Confederate mistakes cost them a great victory The bravery of the troops on both sides and the panic of many Union troops The determination of General Grant to win the battle, despite horrific casualties That Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston was the highest-ranked officer on either side to fall during the battle So if you want to learn more about the Battle of Shiloh, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

Attack at Daylight and Whip Them by Gregory A. Mertz Pdf

This Civil War history and guide presents an engaging chronicle of the Battle of Shiloh with information and insights about the Tennessee battlefield. The Union Army of the Tennessee, commanded by Major General Ulysses S. Grant, had gathered on the banks of its namesake river at a spot called Pittsburg Landing, ready to strike deep into the heart of Tennessee Confederates, commanded by General Albert Sidney Johnston. Johnston’s troops were reeling from setbacks earlier in the year and had decided to reverse their fortunes by taking the fight to the Federals. Johnston planned to attack them at daylight and drive them into the river. As a brutal fight ensued, Grant gathered reinforcements and planned a counteroffensive. On the morning of April 7, he initiated his own bloody daybreak attack. The horrors of this two-day battle exceeded anything America had ever known in its history. Historian Greg Mertz grew up on the Shiloh battlefield, hiking its trails and exploring its fields. Attack at Daylight and Whip Them taps into five decades of intimate familiarity with a battle that rewrote America’s notions of war.

Manual of the Panorama of the Battle of Shiloh by Lucien B. Crooker Pdf

Excerpt from Manual of the Panorama of the Battle of Shiloh: Michigan Avenue, Between Madison and Monroe Streets, Chicago There is nothing in the reports and dispatches of the period indicating that any Federal commander on the ground contemplated the possibility of a Con federate attack before concentration and organization were completed. On the contrary, contemporaneous literature and events incontestably lead to the con elusion that the Federal commanders expected to complete the consolidation of their forces and seek the Confederates at or near Corinth.
