I would love to travel back to some of the old civil war battlefields as well as the revolutionary battle sights - then jog into Texas and visit the Alamo - I've been to many of the battlefields out West here and it is always sobering to realize you are standing on soil where many men and women have lost their lives in battle.

It definitely brings the park to life. Good work on digging up the full history of the place... Like I have said before, you should come down here. You could spend lifetime of vacations visiting Civil War battlefields and historic sites. We also have a huge reenactment of one of our local battles every March. Hopefully the kids will be old enough to go next year... Man, I love all of the details of the battle. It definitely brings the park to life.

It must make a visit a much more intense experience when you can play out the events in your head. I enjoy your Shiloh posts. I hope you keep them coming.
