Robert Underwood Johnson, Clarence Clough Buell, Battles and Leaders of the Civil War: The Opening Battles. Volume 1., The battle of Shiloh. (search)
The battle of Shiloh. Ulysses S. Grant, General, U. S. A. Ulysses S. Grant. From a photograph taken, probably, in 1863. The battle of Shiloh, or Pittsburg Landing, fought on Sunday and Monday, the 6th and 7th of April, 1862, has been perhaps less understood, or, to state the case more accurately, more persistently misunderstood, than any other engagement between National and Confederate troops during the entire rebellion. Correct reports of the battle have been published, notably burg Landing, without specifying by what route. His was one of three veteran divisions that had been in battle, and its absence was severely felt. Later in the war, General Wallace would never have made the mistake that he committed on the 6th of April, 1862. I presume his idea was that by taking the route he did, he would be able to come around on the flank or rear of the enemy, and thus perform an act of heroism that would redound to the credit of his command, as well as to the benefit of hi

On the way we were met by a descending steamer which came alongside and delivered a letter from General Grant addressed to the Commanding Officer, advanced forces, near Pittsburg, Tenn., and couched in the following words: Pittsburgh, Tenn., April 6, 1862. General: The attack on my forces has been very spirited since early this morning. The appearance of fresh troops on the field now would have a powerful effect, both by inspiring our men and disheartening the enemy.

then rode immediately to the front. Wallace states that Baxter delivered an unsigned order and said that it had been given to him verbally, but that in coming down the river he had reduced it to writing. Concerning the circumstances and character of the order Captain Baxter made the following statement in the New-York Mail and Express for November 4th, 1886: I will give my own recollection of the event at Pittsburg Landing. On Sunday, between the hours of 8 and 9 o'clock A. M., April 6th, 1862, Adjutant-General Rawlins, of General Grant's staff, requested me to go to Crump's Landing (five miles below) and order General Lew Wallace to march his command at once by the River Road to Pittsburg Landing, and join the army on the right. At the same time General Rawlins dictated the order to General Wallace, which was written by myself and signed by General Rawlins. On meeting General Wallace I gave the order verbally, also handed to him the written order. General Wallace said
