The Story Of Shiloh

By De Long Rice

Book Overview

Among the quiet fields of rural Tennessee, two spring days in 1862 turned a sleepy river landing into one of the deadliest crucibles of the American Civil War. Two days that changed history. In The Story Of Shiloh, De Long Rice offers a concentrated account of the Tennessee civil war battle that raged around Pittsburg Landing, following how Union and Confederate armies fought over the Shiloh Tennessee battlefield in a contest that helped define the western theatre of the war. Blending battlefield narrative with reflective analysis, this civil war history book stands as both an engaging story and a focused civil war battlefield study, situating Shiloh within the broader 1862 American Civil War campaigns and the evolution of American military history. Clear, direct prose makes the complexity of manoeuvres and decisions accessible for general readers, for civil war enthusiasts and for history students, while the measured tone and period perspective will appeal to readers drawn to classic accounts of American civil war battles and to collectors interested in the battle of Shiloh history as it was understood by earlier generations. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
