Hello,
My great great grandfather, Phineas Pease, was in command of the 49th illinois infantry at shiloh. I've been conducting research on my gg gfather for over ten years, and can send a list of links to photos, etc if it's helpful. I've also just discovered an archive of letters from a mr. berggef, who served with Phineas in a close capacity and gives first hand accounts of the build up and aftermath at pittsburgh landing.I can be reached at mstevensmcs@yahoo.com
