Wasn’t Grant supposedly drunk at Shiloh?
Whatever a great victory.Somewhat back and forth over the same ground.
It is a long time since I saw the programmes ,I must watch them again, they are videos, and our player will do that but instructions lost and so will have to wait until son can come in to set it up for me.
Beauregard ,I seem to remember was rather ineffectual, but my memory may be amiss there.
I ought not to say that until I am sure .
The names are so biblical, Shiloh,Manasseh .
How poignant it must have been that the surrender was in the same farmhouse as the declaration of war, can’t remember the name offhand.
Grant on Traveller ,all the Confederate troops patting the horse .
I had a wonderful book ,don’t know what happened to it, written from the
horse’s viewpoint, really informative and a really good read ,probably lent it !
Well thank you both , what an honour to have those connections , thanks for sharing.
Look up the song Lorena, it was much loved by both sides and indeed was banned by one as it really depressed the troops .
Longing for home and wives and sweethearts.
Cheerio, thanks again .
Viktoria.
