Riassunto

Excerpt from The Story of Shiloh

Shiloh was the first great battle of the Civil War; it was the first great battle of this conti nent, within the View of history. More Ameri cans perished here in two days than were killed in all the years of the Revolutionary War.

The first Red Cross tent field hospital ever set up on a battlefield was set up on the field of Shiloh.

This was the only great battle of that de structive war on whose field there was not a breastwork, nor a trench, nor even a rifle pit. It was the closest and fiercest death grapple of the American manhood of that unhappy time.

Shiloh closed the wonderful life of Albert Sidney Johnston, and opened the great career of Ulysses S. Grant.
