Casualty lists

2010-04-21T13:33:00.002-06:00

I think the post that generated the most comments was when I posted a list of casualties in the Wisconsin regiments. Genealogists found my page while looking for their ancestors and were grateful for the information I had. And they asked me about other men as well. So I've decided to post casualty lists here as a source for genealogists. Its not something one can just sit and read but I've made some good contacts with genealogists over the years, sometimes they have letters and diaries that they are willing to share. I will try to post 2-3 casualty lists here a week. The emphasis will be on Union regiments as there are more complete records there but I'll share the Confederate lists I have too, just don't expect there to be too many.

Untold Story of Shiloh

2009-03-12T09:17:00.001-06:00

The Untold Story of Shiloh: The Battle and the Battlefield by Timothy B. Smith.

The best way to describe this book is as a collection of the overlooked things of Shiloh. Smith has chapters on the historiography of the battle, persistent myths of the battle, Alexander P. Stewart's Brigade, the role of the US Navy, the siege of Corinth, the national cemetery, dedication speeches through the years, David W. Reed and DeLong Rice.

I've seen some of these chapters in other publications, most notably his chapter on the myths of the battle. I'm glad to say that on the 10 myths Smith presents I only believed in one. How many do you believe? The ten myths are:
1) The Union was surprised

2) Prentiss was the hero
3) Lew Wallace was lost
4) Buell was the savior
5) The Navy was not important
6) The Hornets Nest was pivotal
7) The Confederates would have won if the final attack had not been called off
8) The Confederates would have won if Johnston had survived

9) The sunken road was sunken

10) Johnston died at the tree marked on the field (or that used to be marked)

The only one I didn't agree with was the the role of the Navy. Smith says its impact was more physiological which I can see. I don't think the Navy contributed much in the way of firepower but completely agree with Smith that the Navy did a ton of logistical work. Logistics are a very important part of battles but usually do not get much press. I'm not sure if that's because its a somewhat dry topic or if the source material is thinner, but it is generally an overlooked part of battles. So I guess on that myth I only think of the Navy doing little when it came time to expend powder.

Eyewitnesses at the Battle of Shiloh

2009-03-11T08:21:00.002-06:00

Eyewitnesses at the Battle of Shiloh edited by David R. Logsdon

This book is pretty much as the title explains. Logsdon has collected eyewitness accounts from a variety sources and compiled them here. He has added some narrative between quotes but not too much, he mainly lets the men speak. This is a good companion book for the driving tour as Logsdon limits his quotes to those areas. You will not read about Sherman's fighting near Jones Field, but you will read about his fighting at Shiloh Church. That's fine. He had to limit his book somehow or it would have been a huge tome. I would appreciate a huge volume but I bet most people would not.

He has also done volumes for Stones River, Franklin, Nashville and Fort Donelson. I have all of the books and have used them for battlefield treks. I will usually copy sections for areas I know I will be at and read them on the spot where they happened. I highly recommend these books.

Shiloh: The Battle that Changed the Civil War

2009-03-10T14:25:00.001-06:00

Shiloh: The Battle that Changed the Civil War by Larry J. Daniel

In my opinion this is the best single Shiloh book out there. It has more detail than McDonough, but not too much like Sword and Cunningham. This book also does a wonderful job of putting Shiloh in context with the other events of the war in the spring of 1862.

The maps are nice, which is not something I can say about Sword's book. Like McDonough's they are full page maps. There is more detail to these maps so individual regiments are shown. One slight drawback is that a map will cover a couple hours of the battle and certain areas will have a time printed there. Usually these are pretty easy to understand but sometimes it is a bit cluttered. It would have been nicer to have 2 or 3 maps but its not necessary.

Yesterday I said McDonough's book was good to prepare for a battlefield visit or to better understand what you just saw. I think Daniel's book would be the next one to read as it would give you more detail and also provide context. After that I'd suggest Cunningham or Sword. But if you didn't advance past Daniel and McDonough you would have a pretty good understanding of the battle.

Shiloh - in Hell before Night

2009-03-09T09:24:00.001-06:00

Shiloh - in Hell before Night by James Lee McDonough

McDonough's book covers the battle of Shiloh from the brigade level on up. You will rarely read of the exploits of a regiment or battery. And that is fine, in fact sometimes it is good to get away from the minute details and think about the battle differently.

This is one of the classic books on the battle, along with Sword's, Daniel's and Cunningham's. One thing I like about the book is the maps. The maps are very clean and clear. They do only show things at a division level which is a drawback. They are also full page maps. I find it annoying when a publisher gives you a map that is only a third or half the size of the page. They often have too much information for that size. But when McDonough gives you a map or illustration it is as big as the page.

I don't have too much to say about the book except that it is a wonderful book that deals with the battle without going into regimental detail. If you wanted to find out what happened at Shiloh this would be the book I'd send you to. If you wanted to find out what the 15th Illinois did I'd recommend something else, probably Sword or Cunningham. But if you wanted the book to either build on what you just saw at the battlefield or to prepare for a battlefield visit this would be a good one to choose.

This Great Battlefield of Shiloh

2009-03-06T07:23:00.000-07:00

This Great Battlefield of Shiloh: History, Memory and the Establishment of a Civil War National Military Park by Timothy B. Smith

This book covers the formation of Shiloh National Military Park from its formation in 1894 to its transfer to the Department of the Interior in 1933. This is a very important time for the battlefield as this is when the park as we know it takes shape. By 1933 nearly all the plaques, markers and monuments are in place. The park landscape had been returned to its 1862 appearance as best as possible (the biggest change being that the fields had changed over the 32 years before the battlefield became a park, although roads and homes had been added).

My primary complaint with the book is that it stops in 1933. I wanted to know more, I wanted a complete history of the park's administration up to the present day. Perhaps Smith will write a second volume down the road that finished the story.

The other thing I wish this book had more of is the various controversies that regiments had about the placement of their lines. Some of these were relatively minor while some, like the 81st Ohio's complaints were much larger events that involved high ranking members of the War Department. I find this sort of thing fascinating and I know of no other book that covers these controversies at Shiloh. There are certainly books that discuss the conflicts over monument placement at Gettysburg but I know of none for Shiloh.

Smith does a good job of explaining David W. Reed's impact on the historiography of Shiloh. Reed was the chief historian, he later served as superintendent, and was the voice of the park. Reed was not an unbiased observer, he had served in the 12th Iowa which fought in the Sunken Road. The Sunken Road begins to take a prominent spot in Shiloh historiography during the 1890s and Reed certainly helps make it that way.

All in all this is a very good book that covers all aspects of the first four decades of the park.

Struggle for Heartland

2009-03-05T08:38:00.000-07:00

Struggle for the Heartland: The campaigns from Fort Henry to Corinth by Stephen D Engle

As the title suggests this book puts Shiloh in the context of the other operations in the Western theater at the time. Specifically the fighting along the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers. This is a pretty short book, 200 pages, and Shiloh only is about 30 of them, and doesn’t appear until nearly three-fourths of the book is over.

Engle is not the first historian to think of these battles as a campaign. Manning F. Force wrote a book in 1882 with that very title, Fort Henry to Corinth. Force was a veteran of these fights, having served as colonel of the 20th Ohio. I really like this book. It is obviously not useful to find out what regiment fought where but it is very useful for placing the battle in context with the other operations in the West in the spring of 1862.

I believe that the spring of 1862 was when the south lost the war. Sure they fought on for three more years but the ground lost in 1862 set things up for the rest of the war. I think that during the rest of the year the South does a fair job of mitigating those losses. Halleck does not use his superior position post-Corinth to bring the war to a close but instead loses the initiative and allows the South to take the offensive and transfer the area of active operations to middle Tennessee and Kentucky. The campaign for Vicksburg does not kick off until the late fall. I think that February thru May is a time when the Union takes great strides towards making this a short war, and that those advantages are then blown in the next few months so that it isn’t until the summer of 1863 that those possibilities can be turned into real gains. This book does a very good job of explaining how the Union achieved those impressive gains in the spring.

Decision at Shiloh

2009-03-04T07:26:00.001-07:00

Decision at Shiloh by Herbert S. Jones (aka HSPL Jones)

This is an odd Shiloh book. It seems to mix a novel with a battle history. In the forward he writes that as a boy he heard a Civil War campfire ballad about Shiloh. He finds out that his friend was part of Peabody's scouting expedition that fired the first shots and decides to write a book about the battle.

There will be sections that are clearly historical fiction followed by sections that are written like any historical book of the time, complete with footnotes. The footnotes are sparse but there are some footnotes.

Prentiss and Peabody generally figure large in the book but I think this is because the veteran he heard the campfire ballad from was a veteran from the 25th Missouri. He connected to that man and when he wrote his book later he was drawn to that regiment again.

I don't think I'd use this book much as a source but I do think it is an interesting read, just not something I'd use for research.

Shiloh: A Novel

2009-03-03T08:25:00.000-07:00

Shiloh: A Novel by Shelby Foote

This is a novel but I think it is an important book to read about Shiloh. Sometimes novels are better at conveying the senses of the battle better than a battle history does. They are no substitute for learning the ebb and flow of a battle, or its context in the war, but they do provide a good way of getting a feel for what the participants thought and felt.

Foote covers the battle by using characters from Johnston's staff, 53rd Ohio, 6th Mississippi, 1st Minnesota Battery, 23rd Indiana, and Forrest's Cavalry. In this way Foote is able to tell nearly the entire stoy of the battle. His stories are pretty faithful to the historical record but there is also some fictionalization along the way. I know if we read actual accounts from these units we would get nearly the same story but there is something in Foote's telling that makes it more real.

I read this book every year, its a pretty easy read. I would never recommend it as a substitute for a battle history but I think it is a good way to add more a more human element to the story.

Tom Worthington's Civil War

2009-03-02T12:26:00.001-07:00

Tom Worthington's Civil War: Shiloh, Sherman and the Search for Vindication by James D. Brewer

Worthington was from a prominent family in Ohio, his father was the 6th governor of Ohio. He was a West Point graduate and had enough pull (family ties, West Point graduate, Mexican War Veteran) to become a colonel at the outbreak of the war. At Shiloh he commanded the 46th Ohio, which was in McDowell's brigade of Sherman's division. Worthington became a thorn in Sherman's side, before the battle but especially in the months afterwards. Before the battle Worthington bombarded Sherman with requests for axes and shovels, plus kept insisting that the Confederates were very close and would soon attack. After the battle Worthington at first engaged in some "I told you so" boasting to Sherman and Halleck.

Once the division was resting in Memphis Worthington kicked it up a notch. He printed his diary, which listed all the times he asked for entrenching supplies and the times he saw Confederates prior to the battle. He also talked to everyone who would listen about how Sherman botched the battle. Sometimes he drank while he blasted Sherman. Eventually Sherman had enough evidence of drunkenness on duty that he brought up charges against Worthington. In some respects Worthington welcomed the court martial as he thought it would be a chance to clear his name and show Sherman's mistakes. Instead it seems that the drunkenness charges dominated the testimony and Worthington was eventually convicted and cashiered from the service. There were enough irregularities in the trial that eventually Judge Advocate General Joseph Holt ruled the verdict null and void. By then it was too late for Worthington to return to service. He spent the rest of his life trying to prove that he was right and Sherman was wrong.

This book does a very good job of following the 46th Ohio's movements on April 6th. If you want to know more about that regiment this is a great book for you. This book also does a good job of following the court martial that forced Worthington out of the service.

Shiloh Stories

2009-02-27T11:25:00.000-07:00

Shiloh Stories: Fact, Fiction and Folklore from the Battle of Shiloh by Tony Hays

This is an odd collection of stories about the battle. There are some fictional sections but they are clearly marked as such. There are other sections that have quite a few footnotes. I don't think I agree with every section, some are based on oral history from county residents. The final three page section though is by far the most scandalous.

In it Hays lays out the case that Grant may have fathered a child during his stay at the Cherry Mansion. The facts being that there was a servant girl with a track record of promiscuity, that she bore a son nine months after the battle, that the son later was said to look just like Grant and that she said Grant was the father. Frederick Dent Grant visited Shiloh in the 1890s and met with this man, in fact he is rumored to have had his picture taken with him (of course the picture does not exist today). Also there is a story that Grant bought land near Savannah from his death bed and had it transferred to his illegitimate son. The child did own land near Savannah but acquired it from Edgar Cherry. But Grant would have likely bought the land through his old host. Basically its a lot of rumor with little verifiable behind it. Its interesting, but not important to the story of the battle. Apparently this is also the main reason that this book is not available for purchase in the park.

Overall I thought the book was an enjoyable read but I don't think I'd use it as a source without first checking it against other sources (which is truthfully a good method to use for nearly every source one encounters).

Seeing the Elephant

2009-02-12T08:23:00.000-07:00

Seeing the Elephant: Raw Recruits at the Battle of Shiloh by Joseph Allan Frank and George A. Reaves

This is one of my favorite Shiloh books. It examines how green troops reacted to their first brush with combat. Both armies were primarily made of men who had never been in combat before with the exception of some men who fought at Fort Donelson (almost exclusively Union troops) and a small group that were at Belmont.

Frank and Reaves had a wealth of source material, in all they used 381 letters and diaries covering 160 units. The first third of the book covers how the men became soldiers. The second third deals with the battle directly. The last third tells what the men thought of their performance, as well as how outsiders viewed their performance.

This book has a ton of anecdotal quotes but its much more than that. I know I'm not doing a fantastic job of describing the book but if you want to know how fresh troops dealt with their first big battle this is the book. Especially if you want to know about how the dealt with Shiloh. But the themes expressed in the soldiers' writings would translate well to other instances of green troops seeing the elephant. If your focus was First Manassas I'm sure you could find plenty of similar experiences between Shiloh soldiers and Manassas soldiers.

Story of Shiloh by Eisenschiml

2009-02-10T07:27:00.000-07:00

The Story of Shiloh by Otto Eisenschiml

Otto Eisenschiml's book on Shiloh is not that interesting as a battle book is concerned. He covers the battle in about 45 pages. He hits the main points and even devotes some time to Colonel Thomas Worthington's complaints of Sherman.

But what sets this book apart is that Eisenschiml tells of his 1925 trip to the park when he spent three days touring the battlefield with superintendent De Long Rice. He also met Augusta Inge, who secretly gave Albert Sidney Johnston his last meal by slipping some sandwiches and cake into his jacket and would also clean his dead body upon its return to Corinth. He also found a little book by Rice in a Corinth bookshop and gives Rice some good natured ribbing the next day why Rice had not told him about the book. These stories are the true worth of this book. These people must have made quite a mark on Eisenschiml as he then gives little biographies of them.

Eisenschiml was from Chicago so one day he paid a visit to Chicago sculptor Frederick C. Hibbard, who designed and sculpted the Confederate monument at Shiloh. As this book was published by the Chicago Civil War Round Table he also included a list of all the round table's presentations, at this point they were only 5 years old, that was 63 years ago. One curiosity of the book is that in the front Eisenschiml wrote, "This book is not copyrighted. Any portion of it may be quoted or reprinted without restrictions." Maybe I should make a few hundred reprints so that more people could read this book.

Shiloh: Bloody April

2009-02-05T11:57:00.000-07:00

Shiloh: Bloody April by Wiley Sword

This is a book I have mixed feelings about. On one hand it is the most detailed study of the battle (although the recent arrival of Cunningham's dissertation for the 1960s ranks a close second). But I've found errors in it, somewhat substantial errors. So if I was wondering what the 77th Ohio did I would use this, along with the Official Records, but I would not trust what I read here 100%. I would make sure to double check everything, which is a good practice anyway but sometimes its nice to use something and know you don't have to worry if its right or not.

My main problem with the book is on his day two chapters. I found this while researching the 14th Wisconsin, which only fought on the second day. Sword credited them with capturing Cobb's Battery near Woolf Field. When I tried to find out more about this I found that Cobb's Battery had been captured the day before by the 11th Illinois, 12th Illinois and 11th Iowa. There is even a tablet on the battlefield saying this. Sword does include that event in his book but then he talks about the 14th Wisconsin, 13th Ohio and 9th Kentucky capturing it again on the second day. I think what he means at that point is that they captured the abandoned guns as nearly all of Cobb's horses were killed (forgetting that there are sources that say during the night Cobb found enough animals and men to drag away the guns). But even that is a problem because the 14th Wisconsin was no where near that place on the second day. I think that ranks as a pretty substantial mistake. Sword has mixed up a variety of locations and times, and he stands alone in placing the 14th Wisconsin in that area on that day.

That is what makes me wonder about everything I read in there. Some day I hope to have the time to produce my own manuscript on Shiloh of comparable length and see just how much I agree with what Sword, and all the other Shiloh historians, have written.

I own a first edition, a reading copy I had picked up earlier, and his revised edition. The revised edition primarily offers a long appendix on Albert Sidney Johnston and where me might have died. Sword thinks the location is wrong and places it the next ravine north of where everyone else says it was. He does make some good points but overall I do not agree with this assertion either.

My final complaint is that Sword refers to Shiloh as the Pearl Harbor of the Civil War. He does this outside of the main text area. I understand his surprise reference but Shiloh was a tactical surprise on the same level as Cedar Creek in Virginia in 1864. This was not that rare an occurrence though the frequency was not that great either. Pearl Harbor was a strategic surprise that the Civil War lacks. The firing on Fort Sumter came as no surprise, both sides knew it was coming soon. The actual moment may have surprised some people but very few people were not surprised it happened in April 1861.

Shiloh books

2009-02-04T21:28:00.000-07:00

I've been remiss lately in posting here but will rectify that in the near future. Over the next few weeks I will post reviews of some of the better Shiloh books. The above picture shows just a sample of the books I own on this important battle. I hope to post three reviews a week.

Prentiss and the Hornets' Nest

2008-12-30T07:56:00.003-07:00

In the December 2008 issue of Civil War Times Tim Smith has an article that examines how Prentiss came to be the hero of Shiloh. How despite commanding roughly 12% of the Hornets' Nest defenders he became the general chiefly associated with this defense in the stories of the battle.

I thought it was a very good article, I wished it had been longer but that's just my Shiloh bias speaking. Basically Smith focuses on why Prentiss got the credit and not on an examination of the fighting in the Hornets' Nest (perhaps he will do that in a future article).

To crudely summarize the article Prentiss became the synonymous with the Hornets' Nest primarily because his chief compatriot WHL Wallace was mortally wounded during the battle. Prentiss gives Wallace credit in his report but as time progresses people seem to forget about Wallace. The cyclorama that was painted in 1885 features Wallace and Prentiss though Prentiss is more prominent. Later paintings tend to leave Wallace out and only show Prentiss. This extends to writings, contemporary and modern historians have mostly given the credit to Prentiss. Perhaps the oddest oversight comes from the park service which features Prentiss prominently in the orientation movie as well as on the iron tablets that dot the battlefield. This iron tablets also minimize the efforts of Everett Peabody whose early morning reconnaissance revealed the Confederates' presence. The tablets simply state that a reconnaissance patrol from Prentiss' division started the battle and does not list the brigade commander directly responsible.

All in all I thought it was a good article although I'd have preferred more Hornets' Nest details. But as far as a dose of Shiloh writing in the major magazines this will admirably fill the void. Since originally publishing this post on Battlefield Wanderings in October I have learned from Tim Smith that the article originally had much more on the fighting in the Hornets' Nest. In fact the article was originally abour 4 times as long but had to be cut down for the magazine. Perhaps we can convince Civil War Times to run an all Shiloh issue in April that would have the full length article. Otherwise I think we'll have to wait for Tim Smith to publish a Shiloh book with this article as a chapter. Either way I'll be happy.

The Battle of Shiloh and the Organizations Engaged by David W. Reed

2008-12-30T07:43:00.000-07:00

The Battle of Shiloh and the Organizations Engaged by David W. Reed

Reed was the first Shiloh park historian and this is the history of the battlefield he created. Enough said. Buy this book.

Oh wait you want more information? Okay. Reed's book is one of the single most detailed resources on Shiloh you can find. And until recently you really couldn't find it. Reed's first edition came out in 1902, followed by a revised edition in 1909 and the final revision in 1913. Very few copies of the book were printed and finding one is a rare feat. I saw one on ebay a few years ago and held one in the special collections section of a Wisconsin library many years a go. Luckily though it wasn't quite that scarce. Every (Northern) state that had a Shiloh monument commission included a copy of Reed's story in their book, so I own 3-4 copies of it and have looked at many others. But now the book is readily available to anyone.

One of the huge benefits of this edition (a copy of the 1913 version) is that the four maps are included on a CD in pdf format. In the various copies I own or have seen the maps are always in sad condition as they were usually folded many times and in a pocket at the back of the book. Folding and unfolding over the last 90 or so years has made them very brittle. Now though with the CD you'll always have a nice copy. Plus you can print them out and make notes on them, carry them into the field and generally do things you'd never have been able to do otherwise. This was a very wise decision.

If you've been to Shiloh you have read Reed's story; its on the iron tablets that dot the field. Reed wrote the text for those too. In many respects it is hard to experience Shiloh without having Reed influence what you see, read or do.

Timothy B. Smith has provided an introduction that helps explain Reed's influence on the various schools of historiography of Shiloh. In brief Reed was the first to highlight the actions in the Sunken Road and make that one of the main stories of the battle. It is no coincidence that Reed was in the Sunken Road when he fought at Shiloh. Later schools of thought have tried to shift the focus to other events but Reed's original thrust has dominated. When Smith was at the Rocky Mountain Civil War Roundtable's symposium in April he said that the Reed map on the wall of the visitor center has spots that have been touched by enough visitors as to be rubbed off. These spots are the areas Reed highlighted, Sunken Road and the Hornets' Nest, plus obviously Shiloh Church and Pittsburg Landing. Johnston's death site or Sherman's fighting at the Crossroads have not been rubbed off, though there are scholars that support those areas as key to the battle instead of the Sunken Road.

This is a wonderful book that now everyone can use to better track the movements of units around the battlefield. As I said at the beginning of this post, buy this book. You won't be disappointed.

PS: If you've ever wanted one of those old monument commission books you can find them on ebay relatively cheaply. The Pennsylvania and Ohio editions seem to be the most plentiful. I've never paid more than $50 for one and have lucked into some bargains too, I got my Pennsylvania copy for about $10. The commission books for Chickamauga are even more plentiful while I've hardly ever seen a Vicksburg copy. Of course Antietam and Gettysburg are out there too but I've never bid on those.

Shiloh & Corinth: Sentinels of Stone by Timothy Isbell

2008-12-30T07:40:00.002-07:00

Shiloh & Corinth: Sentinels of Stone by Timothy Isbell. I've been burned in the past by buying books sight unseen just because it was on Shiloh. There is some horrible stuff out there. So I requested this book through inter library loan. It came in the very day I received an email from Timothy Isbell wishing me luck on my new house and saying that he reads my blog. A very strange coincidence but something that was pretty cool too.

Anyway, this is a great book. The pictures are amazing but its more than just a picture book as there is quite a bit of text accompanying each picture. This was a nice way to relax after a day of painting and unpacking. This is definitely a book I want to add to my collection (I probably shouldn't announce that here as Jess is sure to ask me where I intend to find a place for another book). I will soon order the Shiloh book and his volume on Vicksburg (he's also done Gettysburg but I need to watch the shelving space somehow). I was excited to learn that a volume on Chickamauga is in the works.

Some of his photos are available online at http://www.timisbell.com./ He definitely has a talent for getting the perfect shot. I have included a picture from his website of the Water Oak Pond at Shiloh so you can see a sample of the great shots he gets. Some of his other work, including a series on the Vietnamese people of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Hurricane Katrina damage in the Biloxi area and some scenes from the career of Brett Favre, are also available on his site.

Shiloh and the Western Campaign of 1862

2008-12-30T07:38:00.000-07:00

Shiloh and the Western Campaign of 1862 by O. Edward Cunningham. Edited by Gary D. Joiner and Timothy B. Smith.

Cunningham wrote this book as a PhD dissertation in 1966. Until this past year it has remained unpublished. I had earlier gained a copy through interlibrary loan and a ton of xeroxing. I've never sat down and read it cover to cover before though because my copy was so ungainly to hold and read. The dissertation has a wonderful reputation among serious students of Shiloh as one of the best examinations of the battle.

This new edition has been edited by Gary D. Joiner and Timothy B. Smith. I'm familiar with Smith's previous works but not Joiner's, and a better choice for editing a Shiloh book could not be made in Smith. They did a great job of adding their own footnotes and comments into Cunningham's work without it being distracting. Besides using the footnotes to clarify points or discuss new sources, they also used them to compare and contrast Cunningham's conclusions with Larry Daniel, Wiley Sword and James Lee McDonough (the three other modern examinations of the battle). I enjoyed this as I didn't have to remember exactly what those three authors had said. Plus page citations were given so that I could check exactly what they wrote in each instance.

My only problem with the footnotes was there were times that the editors would say that Cunningham's original text had said something that is pretty clearly incorrect and that they changed the text so that it read better. Perhaps this "error" was because Cunningham's work hadn't gone through the extensive review process that books go through now (and you could assume that if he was alive now to publish his dissertation the peer review process would have fixed those things). Or maybe its not really an error and further research might show Cunningham was right. I'm still not sure where I sit on this issue. In some respects I wish the new book was a faithful reproduction of the dissertation, warts and all. In other respects I think its good that obvious mistakes were edited out. In other sections the editors did mention that Cunningham's interpretation differs, the text was left alone, just a foot note added to indicate the interpretive differences. And that is a great thing. I'm still have not decided if I like the minor corrections or not.

The one problem I had with the dissertation is a complete lack of maps. Thankfully that has been fixed in this new edition. But the maps seem a little busy at times with too many of the trails shown. Also the maps typically show brigade sized units (some do show regiments) and I'd prefer if they had all shown regiments. But that's only a minor point and does not detract from the worth of the book. Just a personal preference, I'm sure there are other readers who would prefer only brigades shown.

The claim made often about Cunningham's book is that his interpretations were well ahead of their time. I'm not sure about that. There was nothing I read that was a real surprise to me, but I'm not exactly new to studying Shiloh. I think it is an important book that can now be read by everyone and sit proudly on the shelves with Sword, Daniel and McDonough. I highly recommend it to all. If I only was going to have one of those four Shiloh books I think it would be Daniel's (then again I have 3 copies of Sword's book so I'm not the best judge of only having one book) but Cunningham's would be my second choice and only because I think Daniel did a better job of showing Shiloh's place in the war. Cunningham is a strong second place though.

This regiment held this position from about 9 a.m. until 4.30 p.m., April 6, 1862, successfully resisting repeated assaults from the enemy's infantry and heavy fire of his artillery. Then, being nearly surrounded, it was ordered to fall back, which it did in good order, through a heavy cross fire from both flanks, to a point about one mile from this place, where it formed in line and held its position until darkness closed the fighting for that day. On April 7th the regiment moved out early, in reserve, and was at different times under fire. About 2 p.m. it was ordered by General Nelson to charge across a field on the enemy in the woods beyond, which was done in most gallant manner, the enemy retiring. This ended the two days fighting for this regiment. Number engaged, 490. Its loss was, killed and wounded, 68; missing, 4; total, 72.

7th Iowa

2008-12-02T14:42:00.000-07:00

On back of monument:
Iowa
7th Regiment Infantry Volunteers,
Commanded by Lieut. Col. J. C. Parrott.
On the morning of April 6, 1862, the regiment, as part of the brigade, formed in line of battle on the left of the 2d Iowa Volunteer Infantry, on a sunken road, the center of the regiment being where this monument stands. It held its position, repelling a number of attacks, until late in the afternoon, when the brigade was ordered to fall back. In the retreat the regiment was subjected to a severe fire from both sides. It reformed in a new line of battle along a road leading to the Landing, and held that position during the night. On the morning of April 7th the regiment was assigned to the reserve and, under orders from General Crittenden, charged and captured one of the enemy's batteries. Present for duty, including officers, musicians, teamsters, etc., 383. Its loss was, 1 officer and 9 men killed; 17 men wounded; 7 men missing; total, 34.

The 7th Iowa monument is the one in the center of this picture. The Iowa monument on the right is for the 12th Iowa. Apparently I did not take individual pictures of these two monuments. I'm not sure why I didn't take shots of the front when I did the shots of the back. It must be because all Iowa monuments look alike. Next time I'm there I'll have to correct this mistake.

81st Ohio

2008-12-02T14:28:00.000-07:00

81st Ohio Infantry
Commanded by Col. Thomas Morton

On back of monument:
This regiment guarded Snake Creek bridge during forenoon April 6, 1862; assisted in repelling enemy's advance at army's extreme right after noon; by personal order of Gen. Grant, received at 3 p.m., developed enemy's position at crossing of Hamburg & Savannah and main Corinth roads; formed left of McClernand's command April 7th; drove enemy from a battery shortly before end of battle, where its greatest loss occurred. Its loss was 2 officers and 2 men killed; 17 men wounded; 2 men missing; total, 23.

The story of the 81st Ohio adds another layer of complexity to the battle. By most accounts this regiment saw little action during the battle. On the first day of battle they guarded Snake Creek bridge until Grant ordered them to the intersection of Corinth-Pittsburg and Hamburg-Savannah roads to develop the enemy. They did this shortly after 3 P.M. and then fell back to the final line. On the second day they saw very little fighting, or at least that is what the Ohio Monument Commission reported in 1903 in its report. The Ohio Monument Commission endeavored to erect a monument to every organization from Ohio that fought at Shiloh. Every organization was thus memorialized, except the 81st Ohio.[i] The Ohio commissioners selected a site near the Corinth-Pittsburg and Hamburg-Savannah roads for the monument. A foundation was put in and the monument was at Pittsburg Landing waiting for placement when two former officers objected to the location and wording on the monument selected. These two officers appealed to the Shiloh Battlefield Commission, which sided with the Ohio Monument Commission. The two officers then appealed to the Assistant Secretary of War. The placing of the monument turned into a huge political fight with 64 former soldiers protesting the actions of these two officers. No agreement could be reached and the monument was not erected when the other Ohio monuments were.[ii]

The argument made by the two officers was that the 81st Ohio captured Cobb’s battery on the second day and they wanted the monument to be near the location of that capture. Unfortunately for them they selected a location near a marker that states that the 11th Illinois, 12th Illinois and 11th Iowa captured Cobb’s battery on the first day. In their report the Ohio commissioners quoted Captain Cobb as saying that his battery was captured on the first day after his ammunition was exhausted and 79 of his 84 horses were killed.[iii] Larry Daniel wrote that Cobb’s battery was captured by the 11th Illinois and 20th Illinois near Woolf Field around noon on the first day. About an hour later the Confederates were able to recapture Cobb’s battery and enough mules were found to drag off four cannon but two cannon and all six caissons had to be left behind.[iv] Wiley Sword also says that Cobb’s Battery was abandoned at this place and time but he later talks about this battery being captured on the second day by the 14th Wisconsin, 13th Ohio and 9th Kentucky.[v] George Witham says that the four guns were removed during the night and that the battery was not in action during the second day.[vi]

Eventually the 81st Ohio’s monument was put in place where the two dissenting officers wanted. Although the monument does not claim capture of Cobb’s Battery by name the monument is directly across the road from a marker for Cobb’s Battery. The monument states that the 81st Ohio “drove [the] enemy from a battery shortly before end of battle, where its greatest loss occurred. Its loss was 2 officers and 2 men killed; 17 men wounded; 2 men missing; total, 23.” The loss of 23 men would seem to indicate that the 81st Ohio did not face much resistance in capturing the battery. Of the several regiments that are connected to the capture of Cobb's battery the 81st Ohio has by far the fewest casualties. The three regiments that the battlefield tablet lists for the capture each suffered more than three times as many casualties as the 81st Ohio did. Considering the volume of casualties in the Civil War it seems odd that any regiment could capture a battery and lose just 23 men. Across the road is a marker for Cobb’s Battery that says at noon on April 6th, “its horses were all killed and [the] guns taken. The guns were retaken and four removed from the field but were not used again at Shiloh.” What probably happened is that if the 81st Ohio captured any guns it was two abandoned cannon which were likely not being fired and only served as a rallying.[vii]

To make things even more confusing in the February 1905 edition of "Confederate Veteran" Captain Cobb disputed that his battery was captured at Shiloh at all. He describes the marker explaining how his battery was captured as “perverted history.” He says he felt compelled to publicly repudiate the story because of the memory of his dead and his few survivors who repulsed the attack of the “Fortieth Illinois and Twenty-Third Missouri Infantry.” Cobb also says that “Cobb’s Battery” was not captured at Shiloh because the battery was not known as “Cobb’s Battery” until more than thirty days after the battle, which seems to be splitting hairs on the issue. Cobb also says that only eight horses were still standing after the charge and that four of those had flesh wounds.[viii] Unfortunately Captain Cobb did not submit a report of his actions in the battle, at least no such report is printed in the Official Records. The only mention of Cobb’s battery at Shiloh is by Colonel Robert P. Trabue, Cobb’s brigade commander, who mentions him twice. The first mention is that this battery was detached from Trabue but that he was told that the battery fought with “extraordinary gallantry,” that nearly all his horses were killed and he was ordered to remove his battery with mules. The second mention is that the battery lost most of its horses and two cannon.[ix] What seems most likely to have happened is that Cobb’s battery was overrun by the Union and then later recaptured by the Confederates. Having all his horses killed the battery had to be removed by mules that evening, leaving behind two guns due to a lack of mules to remove all the guns. Cobb denies being captured because he was able to remove his guns and only left two behind because he did not have the horseflesh to remove them. With no horses he did not participate in the second day of the battle.

General McClernand said that one the first day the 11th Illinois, 20th Illinois and 11th Iowa charged a battery and killed, “most all the artillery horses.”[x] This sounds a lot like the attack on Cobb’s battery. Colonel Marsh describes the attack virtually the same, but with more detail:
We succeeded in slowly driving back the enemy for half a mile to the extreme left of my own camp, silencing a section of artillery planted in rear of General McClernand’s quarters, killing all the horses on both guns and caissons. The enemy being heavily re-enforced and my ammunition running short, I was forced to fall back without bringing off the guns, but on regaining possession of our camp on Monday morning the guns were found in the same position, and are now in our possession.[xi]

The Ohio commissioners further reported that on the second day the 81st Ohio served as part of the 20th Illinois, with the 53rd Ohio also serving as part of the 20th Illinois for the day.[xii] Colonel C. Carroll Marsh’s report states that on the second day his brigade consisted of the 17th Illinois, 20th Illinois, 43rd Illinois, 48th Illinois, 49th Illinois, 54th Illinois, 53rd Ohio and “a portion of one other Ohio regiment.” On the first day his brigade had only consisted of the 11th Illinois, 20th Illinois, 45th Illinois and 48th Illinois. On April 7th they crossed Review Field with no trouble, then prepared to charge a Confederate battery but just when he was about to give the order the “Ohio troops on my left, without any apparent cause, broke and ran in a manner that can only be stigmatized as disgraceful and cowardly.”[xiii] Marsh does not mention if the brigade was ever able to capture that battery. Lieutenant Colonel Robert A. Fulton of the 53rd Ohio, serving under Colonel Marsh on the second day, reported that they did capture that battery but on the nearing the battery they discovered that it was “entirely abandoned.”[xiv] After encountering the abandoned battery they encountered other artillery fire and the Confederates then advanced on the brigade. Fulton say that at this point the 81st Ohio “fell back across the open field.”[xv]

The Ohio Commission also added that they, “considered the reports of those officers who were present with the regiment as more reliable than that of one who did not see it during the day.”[xvi] They are referring to the fact that Colonel Thomas Morton, the 81st Ohio’s commander, was acting brigade commander for the Second Brigade of the Second Division, taking over from the wounded Brigadier General John McArthur. The Ohio commissioners would not directly say who were the two officers who caused all the trouble, though it seems Colonel Thomas Morton was one of the men involved. Colonel Morton would serve as the 81st Ohio’s colonel for most of the war, from Aug 19th, 1861 to July 30th, 1864 when he resigned his commission.[xvii]

The other officer was Major William H. Chamberlain. In 1865 he wrote a regimental history in which he says that at Shiloh the 81st Ohio captured a battery on the second day. He says that the regiment drove the Confederates away with musketry then charged and captured the battery. The regiment had to leave the cannon behind though as they were left unsupported.[xviii] It appears that only one other regimental history for the 81st Ohio exists. Corporal Charles Wright says in his memoirs that the “audacious” advance of the 81st Ohio caused the Confederates to become confused and retreat, leaving behind some cannon. The 81st Ohio sent several volleys from the site of the capture but then had to retreat as no support was in sight.[xix] This is a much different story than the one told by Lieutenant Colonel Fulton of the 53rd Ohio, which served with the 81st Ohio on the second day. T. J. Lindsey, chairman of the Ohio commission, wrote to park historian Reed that Chamberlain, “certainly got some other battle mixed with Shiloh.”[xx]

Knowing the numbers involved in the later controversy it seems odd that the only two regimental histories support the minority opinion, especially considering that both men were in the same company at Shiloh. The introduction to Wright's memoirs was written by Major William H. Chamberlain. Although he ended the war as a major, at Shiloh Chamberlain was the First Lieutenant of Company C, Corporal Charles Wright’s company.[xxi] Chamberlain explains that Corporal Wright never intended for the book to be published; he intended it to be a family heirloom and went to the trouble of having it bound in calf and morocco for posterity’s sake. Chamberlain though persuaded Wright to have the book published.[xxii] The way Wright wrote the book though it appears that his audience was not his ancestors but rather his fellow soldiers. Here’s a selection to illustrate, “Comrades, remember in what manner we retreated from those guns; we would fire, the about face’ and walk slowly while getting out a cartridge, stop and finish loading, blaze away, and then walk on again until half loaded, the halt, finish loading, and give them another.”[xxiii] Perhaps Wright rewrote the book once it was decided to print it for a mass audience.

Colonel Morton wrote about his brigade capturing a Confederate battery but had to leave it where it was due to all the horses being killed. Their ammunition was exhausted and they then fell back.[xxiv] It is an odd report because Morton describes his brigade as being his own regiment and “three fractional regiments which were in line on my right and very poorly officered.”[xxv] What regiments was Colonel Morton commanding? The order of battle states that Colonel Morton was commanding the Second Brigade of the Second Division for the wounded General McArthur and that this brigade consisted of the 9th and 12th Illinois and the 13th and 14th Missouri. Captain James Hugunin of 12th Illinois reported that the “division and brigade had been scattered and broken up, and I had to act without orders,” on the second day. They spent most of the day following the first line and doing very little fighting.[xxvi] Colonel August Mercy of 9th Illinois said that they served as a reserve on the second day. At 4 P.M. they were ordered forward but the enemy was in retreat when they got there and were thus not engaged.[xxvii] The 14th Missouri’s colonel, B. S. Compton, said that the only action by his regiment on the second day was as skirmishers for Lew Wallace’s force.[xxviii] Colonel Charles J. Wright’s 13th Missouri saw some action serving under Sherman on the second day but was not involved in the capture of a battery.[xxix] All the regiments listed as being under Morton’s command can be explained as serving under other commanders and not getting into much action. If Morton did command a brigade it did not consist of what was officially listed as his brigade. Perhaps the Ohio Commission was right when they said that the 81st Ohio served with the 20th Illinois under the command of Colonel Marsh.

Colonel Marsh did not state that his brigade consisted of the 81st Ohio; he simply said “a portion of one other Ohio regiment.”[xxx] There were nine Ohio regiments that were in the first day’s engagement. These were the 46th, 48th, 53rd, 54th, 57th, 70th, 71st, 72nd and 77th. As stated earlier the 53rd Ohio served in Marsh’s brigade on the second day. The 48th, 70th and 72nd Ohio served together under Colonel Ralph Buckland. This brigade was engaged near McClernand’s headquarters on the second day. Unfortunately Buckland did not state his precise actions in his report to General Sherman, only saying, “The manner in which my brigade came into line and fought was observed by you, and therefore I need not describe it.”[xxxi] Sherman in his report does not mention any specific actions by Buckland but does state that it was his only brigade “that retained its organization.”[xxxii] The 57th and 77th Ohio were in reserve during the second day and did not see any combat. The 71st Ohio was scattered early in the morning of the second day and also did not see any action. It is impossible to state what the 46th or 54th Ohio did on the second day.[xxxiii] Either of these two might be the other Ohio regiment that served in Marsh’s brigade. Lieutenant Colonel Robert Fulton of the 53rd Ohio states that when his regiment advanced in the morning the 81st Ohio was on his left and the 45th Illinois was on his right.[xxxiv] The 45th Illinois was one of Marsh’s original regiments but he did not mention it as fighting with him on the second day. The Ohio Monument Commission did not leave a detailed written history of the actions of every Ohio regiment. The history for each regiment in the book is usually only two pages long and details where and when they were recruited, what the inscription on the monument is and what was the supreme moment for each Ohio regiment at Shiloh. In some ways this is unfortunate but it is also beneficial. Since none of these mini-histories include actions from the second day it can be deduced that none of the Ohio regiments that fought on the first day did anything of much importance on the second day or at least nothing that was of more importance than their first day’s actions. The Ohio Monument Commission must have thought that each regiment did their most conspicuous service on the first day.

What does it all mean? Probably the 81st Ohio captured nothing on April 7. They may have bolted for the rear early in the action. If they did capture anything it was abandoned cannon and it not comparable to how other regiments captured batteries.
