I have a Civil War Discharge Tableaux by J. W. Carnahan for Michael Johnson of the 15th Michigan Infantry. In the Tableaux it says he was shot in the leg at Shilo and it had to be amputated. I see he is listed as missing in your blog. I have pics of the discharge tableaux if you are interested.

Michael Dattle wounded at the battle of Shiloh was actually Michael Doettl He died of his wounds and is buried in St Louis under the name Michael Datte. Also he was 56 years old not the 44 that the Army thought he was..John McDonald Jackson Mi..
