  Used to shoot a 50 caliber muzzleloader. After pulling the trigger I couldn't see through the smoke to the Target. 150,000 muzzleloaders plus cannons. Little Wonder there was such confusion on these battlegrounds. They probably couldn't see anything.

  The information that is being released is always skimmed over and ignored as to who and why that landing was chosen, and who was first in command of this campaign and how it became Grant's command. Very good video. What also needs to be known is that General Wallis was placed at Creb's with his approximate 7500 troops, about 7 to 10 miles down river, closer to Grant's HQ.

  You never disappoint me. I love this longer video. I enjoy the continuity of longer videos. Great job as always

  This is fantastic. I've read and reread several books about Shiloh, seen many videos about it, and have been there three times. This is so intricately detailed. Incredible. I just wonder why a feature-length film, ala Gettysburg or Gods and Generals, cannot be made about this battle. ALL of the elements are there for an epic film.

  One correction: WHL Wallace didn't die for several days. His wife accompanied him back to Grant's headquarters and stayed by his side. She wasn't told of his death.

  A g-g-grandfather of mine served with an Illinois unit during the civil war, I often wondered how he joined this Illinois unit as he lived about 30 miles from Pittsburgh landing. Eventually I found some war records that indicated that he signed up for service with this Illinois unit in Savannah Tennessee right before the battle of Shiloh.

  Dr. Wilder I just listened to this from Tupelo, Ms to Pickwick, Tn. Awesome information. You do the men who fought at Shiloh justice by adding the personal notes and letters. Thank you for your attention to detail.
