  3. It seems like all articles written about Shiloh are basiclly the same,a chaotic battle,with confusing reports.The O.R. reports are even conflicting.The one thing that we can all agree on about Shiloh is the chaotic, confusion of raw green troops on both sides and conflicting battle reports from officers and newspaper reporters.There will never be a truely accurate article written about Shiloh.Thats what makes it such a unique battle in the fight for the west

  5. What is with all the colored words? I mean I really like to read up on the Battle of Shiloh Hill, But come on! Is it really nessesary to color some of the words? It’s kinda’ disorienting if you ask me. Oh well. Anyhow, I like to read up on the Battle of Shiloh Hill because it personifies the words courage, valor, and divotion. The men that died in that great battle must have been very brave to watch their comrads fall right and left. They also must have been very divoted men to fight with such bravery in the face of danger. The men that died on both sides of the civil war are my heros, and I look up to them for courage and bravery! ^-^

  6. Well the answer to the Sunken Rd. myth seems obvious, “Sunken Road” “Duncan Road.” Okay that’s a tongue in cheek comment but other historical myths have been perpetuated on just such mispronounced or misheard words or names.
