Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 9. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), The concentration before Shiloh-reply to Captain Polk. (search)
st the calumny of Colonel W. P. Johnston, in the life of his worthy father, relative to the concentration of troops, April 5th, 1862, preliminary to the battle of Shiloh. This is the first time I have heard you blamed or rendered responsible foin the march to the position where the line of battle was established preliminary to the battle of Shiloh, on the 5th day of April, 1862. Reference is here made to General William Preston. I repeat the inquiry--is Ruggles's answer sufficient? we may assume that, owing to the tempestuous condition of earth and skies at 2 o'clock A.

There it is stated that one division of Bragg's corps was late, and as the official reports and correspondence show that Withers was not late, and that Ruggles was, the inference is clear. We now come to the essential point in the General's reply. Who was responsible for the delay on the 5th of April, 1862, in the formation of the line of battle? In my first article, as said, I was disposed to put the blame on the elements, but General Ruggles has shown me in this I erred; from his article I gather that he had a great deal to do with it. For a thorough understanding of the question at issue, some reference to the roads and order of march is first necessary. See map, page 559, Life of A. S. Johnston. This involves a repetition of some things said in your December number, but it is un
