The focus of posts will be my Civil War travels with a healthy dose of Shiloh related research.

Shiloh monuments
My series of Shiloh monuments has come to a close. Earlier someone had suggested I do the Confederate side. I did do the Confederate monuments, unfortunately they lack the numbers that the Union has. You'll find this pattern repeated at every battlefield in this country, I cannot think of a single major battlefield that has more Confederate monuments than Union. Chickamauga might be the closest in terms of numbers. In the near future I will be posting an order of battle with links to my previous blogs showing the monument plus links to pdfs of the unit's report from the Official Records. When I do that I will also link all the Confederate reports so while they lack the volume of monument posts they will at least be more evenly represented in the report side of things.
Bravo Zulu, Nick.
