On our side National and Confederate were mingled together in about equal proportions; but on the remainder of the field nearly all were Confederates. On one part, which had evidently not been plowed for several years, probably because the land was Ford where the Hamburg road crosses Lick Creek, looking from Colonel Stuart's position on the federal left. Lick Creek at this point was fordable on the first day of the battle, but the rains on Sunday night rendered it impassable on the second day. poor, bushes had grown up, some to the height of eight or ten feet. There was not one of these left standing unpierced by bullets. The smaller ones were all cut down. Contrary to all my experience up to that time, and to the experience of the Army I was then c

sful charge on Prentiss's line. The whole Federal front, which had been broken here and there, and was getting ragged, gave way under this hammering process on front and flank, and fell back across a ravine to another strong position behind the Hamburg and Purdy road in rear of Shiloh. Sherman's route of retreat was marked by the thick-strewn corpses of his soldiers. At last, pressed back toward both Owl Creek and the River, Sherman and McClernand found safety by the interposition on their left and Sherman's shattered division on the right. General Johnston had pushed Chalmers to the right and front, sweeping down the left bank of Lick Creek, driving in pickets, until he encountered Stuart's Federal brigade on the Pittsburg and Hamburg road. Stuart was strongly posted on a steep hill near the River, covered with thick undergrowth, and with an open field in front. McArthur was to his right and rear in the woods.

There a foothold was gained on a thickly wooded ridge, with a ravine in front, from which twoediate rear of a line which Hurlbut formed along the edge of a field on favorable ground on the Hamburg road, southward of the position last taken up by McClernand.
