| Shiloh is a great visit as I was there about a 6 weeks ago. Just be sure to bring a book with some maps as the field is just as confusing today as it must have been back then.

| Did Pea Ridge and Wilson's Creek a few years ago. It is a shame they have let the trees grow up like they have. However both battlefields struck me that the distances seem so different that the impressions you get in the books. Don't remember the name of the field or which Confederate units were cha... |
