What an amazing blog. I stand in awe of your research. I have no real expertise on this subject but do enjoy reading about the civil war and visiting national battlefields. I have strong memories of standing in the Hornets Next at Shiloh. Your post of General Prentiss's comments was especially enjoyable.
