Description

Peabody’s Battle Line, McCuller’s Field, Stuart’s Defense, the Peach Orchard, and Hell’s Hollow—these monuments mark some of the critical moments in the battle of Shiloh but offer the visitor only the most meager sense of what happened on the banks of the Tennessee in April 1862. This battlefield guide breathes life into Civil War history, giving readers a clear picture of the setting at the time of engagement, who was where, and when and how the battle progressed.

Designed to lead the user on a one-day tour of one of the most important battlefields of the war, the guide provides precise directions to all the key locations in a manner reflecting how the battle itself unfolded. A wealth of maps, vivid descriptions, and careful but accessible analysis makes plain the sweep of events and the geography of the battlefield, enhancing the experience of Shiloh for the serious student, the casual visitor, and the armchair tourist alike.

Acknowledgments

The authors would like to extend their sincere appreciation to Stacy D. Allen, the National Park Service historian at Shiloh National Military Park. Stacy probably knows more about the battle than anyone, living or dead, and his as-sistance has greatly improved this guide. During the summer of 1998, Mark Grimsley conducted a staff ride of the battleﬁeld with the ofﬁcer cadre of the 3/502nd Infantry Battalion, then com-manded by Lt. Col. William O. Odom. As always in such cases, the learning expe-rience was decidedly mutual. Mark beneﬁted from it considerably in preparing his share of the guide. Finally, we have dedicated this book to Lt. Col. John F. Guilmartin Jr. (usaf, Ret.), who ﬂew rescue helicopters dur-ing the Vietnam War, received the Silver Star for valor under ﬁre, and received a PhD from Princeton (which, to hear him tell it, required considerable valor as well). A gifted historian, Joe is an even more gifted teacher. Steve had the privi-lege of studying under Joe at Rice Uni-versity. Mark had the same privilege at The Ohio State University and currently enjoys the pleasure of having Joe as a fellow colleague. Joe epitomizes the term “soldier-scholar.” He is also a gen-erous friend, a born raconteur, and a mean hand with a barbecue. The frontispiece of this book is from the collection of the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division. All other illustrations first appeared in Battles and Leaders of the Civil War, 4 vols., ed. Robert Underwood Johnson and Clarence Clough Buel (New York: Cen-tury Co., 1887—88). The volume and page number from which each illustra-tion was taken appear at the end of each caption.

For John F. Guilmartin Jr.

Teacher, colleague, and friend
