Left: Recruiting poster for J.J. Appler’s 53rd Ohio, which fought with the 57th Ohio and 77th Ohio under Sherman in Colonel Jesse Hildebrand’s 3rd Brigade. Sherman later lauded the 61-year-old Hildebrand (above) for his poise under fire. Unfortunately, the colonel died of pneumonia just 11 days after Shiloh. (Ohio History Connection; Cowan’s Auctions)
