Shiloh Battlefield, Tennessee: Bloody Confrontation

Our primary reason for staying at a resort near Hornsby, Tennessee is because it is close to the battlefield at Shiloh.  Today we paid homage to the dead who are buried there and to find out what happened.  From April 6-7, 1862 the woods of South Tennessee witnessed the greatest blood bath in American History to that date, over 24,000 casualties.  The reason for this was a small town twenty miles south called Corinth, Mississippi.  This was the crossroads of two major railroads and was a major target for the Union forces.  Grant, commander of the Army of Tennessee, was given orders by Gen. Halleck not to engage the enemy until reinforcements under Gen. Buell, commander of the Army of Ohio.  His men were encamped near a small church called Shiloh near the Pittsburg Landing along the Tennessee River.  Little did he know that The CSA, under the command of Albert S. Johnston, who dies in the battle, was headed his way and encamped about 100 yards from each other.  Early Sunday Morning shots broke out from a Union Patrol at some Rebels.  Then all hell broke loose.  The Union was able to hold off the CSA at a sunken road and the Oak woods behind it that became known as “The Hornets Nest” because of the fierce fighting that took place.   The position was finally taken after six hours of battle when the CSA bombarded the area with 62 cannon.   The US was saved… Read the rest

The True Lesson Of Life

“Does the blackened ruin, situated in the stony ground between Durraj and Mutathallam, which did not speak to me, when addressed, belong to the abode of Ummi Awfa? 

“And is it her dwelling at the two stony meadows, seeming as though they were the renewed tattoo marks in the sinews of the wrist? 

“The wild cows and the white deer are wandering about there, one herd behind the other, while their young are springing up from every lying-down place.

“I recognized the three stones blackened by fire at the place where the kettle used to be placed at night, and the trench round the encampment, which had not burst, like the source of a pool.

“Look, oh my friend! do you see any women traveling on camels, going over the high ground above the stream of Jurthum?

“They have covered their howdahs with coverlets of high value, and with a thin screen, the fringes of which are red, resembling blood. 

“And they inclined toward the valley of Soobán, ascending the center of it, and in their faces were the fascinating looks of a soft-bodied person… Read the rest
