| Artillery Piece Overlooking the Bloody Pond, on the Shiloh National Battlefield Park. The Battle occurred on April 6th and 7th, 1862, and involved over 100,000 men, with a staggering casualtie list of almost 24,000. Confederate General Albert Sydney Johnston was killed during the fighting, and eventually the Confederate Army Retreated back to Corinth, Mississippi. Today the National Battlefield Parks preserves almost 4000 acres of the battlefield, with an excellent museum and staff, and is well worth a visit if you are ever in the area. |

| "Monsieur Challon became an attache'of the "Iberville Grays" company, and took his place in the ranks. The rules and customs of the service not being so rigid as to prevent his fellow-soldiers making a little allowance for his years, he soon became a general favourite. But no less a favourite was his companion "Jason" the donkey, which also became an attache' of the company, and a general favourite with the whole regiment." -Sergeant William Watson, 3rd Louisiana Infantry, December, 1861, - From the Book, "Life in the Confederate Army" by Sergeant William Watson. |
