| Artillery Piece Looking out over the "Bloody Pond" at Shiloh National Battlefield Park in Tennessee. The Shiloh Park is just an impressive well preserved Battlefield, of over 5,000 acres with scores of artillery pieces and monuments, as well as a fine museum. Definitely worth a visit if you are ever nearby. Over 100,000 soldiers fought here in April, 1862, including my own ancestor in the 6th Arkansas Infantry. Click the image to see a few more pictures of the Park. |

| " Glad to find I was still alright, I proceeded to buckle on my belt, but found the clasp broken, and the large brass plate in front, on which was emblazoned the Louisiana State emblem of the "Pelican", dented and marked with a ball. It was now evident that the ball had come in a slightly slanting direction, struck the brass plate, and glanced off, passing through my canteen, while the thud on my stomach had knocked the breath from me, and paralysed me for a time. I fastened my belt with a string and started to follow up the regiment." - Sergeant William Watson's Account of being shot at the August 10th, 1861, Battle of Oak Hills or Wilson's Creek, Missouri. - From the Book "Life in the Confederate Army" by Sergeant William Watson, 3rd Louisiana Infantry. |
