Shiloh,

I didn't camp here, but the visit to the Shiloh battlefield was our
entire reason for coming to this area.
Shiloh National Military Park was established in 1894 to preserve the
scene of the first major battle in the Western theater of the Civil
War. The two-day battle, April 6 and 7, 1862, involved about 65,000
Union and 44,000 Confederate troops. The battlefield contains about
4,000 acres and has within its boundaries the Shiloh National
Cemetery.
I visited the park during mid-April so the trees and grounds pictured
are in the same state of bloom as the soliders would have experienced
them during 1862.
