General Breckinridge served personally all day with his Second and Third brigades, uniting them to his First brigade at the time and place of Prentiss' surrender, and then con- ducted the entire command to the east along the ridge south of Dill Branch to near the river, where it was under fire from gunboats and batteries. At dark Breckinridge withdrew to encampments of the enemy.
On Monday he was engaged with his three brigades nearly intact on south side of Corinth road behind Duncan field, his

right joining Hardee about the Peach Orchard. When the army retired Breckinridge formed the rear guard.
Morgan's squadron of Kentucky cavalry and Phil. Thomp- son's company (Kentucky cavalry) were attached to this corps, but do not appear to have been engaged.
First Brigade.
(Trabue's.)
This brigade formed the advance of the reserve corps and reached the forks of the Bark and Pittsburg roads about eight A. M., Sunday morning, April 6, 1862. It was sent for- ward on Pittsburg road to support General Polk's line and soon after deployed to the left of the road in the following order from left to right: Fourth Kentucky, Sixth Kentucky, Thirty-first Alabama, Fifth Kentucky, Fourth Alabama, Crew's Tennessee battalion, Third Kentucky, with Cobb's (Kentucky) battery and Bryne's (Mississippi) battery in the rear.
It passed Shiloh Church in line of battle about eleven thirty A. M .- the Fifth Kentucky opening to right and left to pass the Church (Lofland's statement). It advanced due north from the Church to the "verge of a large crescent- shaped field." Here the Third Kentucky, Fourth Alabama and Crew's battalion and Bryne's battery were detached by General Beauregard and ordered to support General Ander- son on the right. The Third and Fourth Kentucky remained detached all day; there is no record of place where they were engaged. Cobb's battery was put in position in front of the Fifth Kentucky in the avenue in front of Marsh's brigade camp. Colonel Trabue sheltered his command in a slight ravine, on the verge of the field, and rode forward to make observations. He discovered two camps to his left and front (Hfare's and Marsh's), the enemy still occupying the camps, He moved his command by the left flank into this field and confronted the enemy. Here he was joined on the left by parts of Russell's and Cleburne's brigades-Twenty-second Tennessee, part of Eleventh Louisiana, Fifth Tennesse (Ven- able), and Fifth Tennessee (Hill)-and on his right by part of Anderson's brigade. The Union troops mentioned by

Trabue in his front were the Forty-sixth Ohio, Sixth Iowa, and Thirteenth Missouri. After an engagement of one hour and a quarter, commencing about noon, Trabue ordered a charge and drove the enemy through their camp (Marsh's) and into the woods in the rear, where he encountered and dis- persed a Missouri regiment and soon after reached the field where Prentiss surrendered, where his left joined the troops from the right, and Crew's battalion was detached with pris- oners. In the meantime Cobb's battery, occupying its first position in Marsh's camp, had been taken and retaken. It had lost all of its horses and was abandoned. Four of its guns were removed with mules Sunday night, but the battery was not again in action. Bryne's battery was engaged in Ruggles' artillery line.
After the surrender of Prentiss, Trabue, with the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Kentucky and Thirty-first Alabama joined Breckinridge and moved down the ridge south of Dill Branch and occupied a position on the crest of the hill, at mounds, overlooking the Tennessee river, where he came under fire from gunboats, which he endured until nearly dark, when he withdrew to the crossroads, where he was joined by the Third Kentucky, Fourth Alabama and Bryne's battery, and then retired to the camps of the Sixth Iowa and Forty- sixth Ohio, where he passed Sunday night. Trabue says he rode until eleven o'clock, trying to find a gen- eral officer to whom he could report for orders, and then sent an aid with escort, who rode all night without success.
On Monday morning the brigade formed on the Purdy road, Bryne's battery at Owl Creek Bridge. In a short time the brigade was moved by the flank to a point three-fourths of a mile east of Shiloh Church, and formed in line on the left and perpendicular to the road, Byrne's battery on the road at edge of a field (Duncan's), with Anderson* on the left and Bowen's brigade on the right. This position was held four hours and then the brigade, except the Fourth Kentucky and Fourth Alabama, moved to the right of the Duncan House and was then engaged for one hour more, when it fell back to the right of Shiloh Church. The Fourth Kentucky and Fourth Alabama were engaged in severe conflict north of

Duncan field, where they lost very heavily. Major Monroe, Fourth Kentucky, was killed here. At Shiloh Church the contest was continued two hours, when the brigade fell back to the forks of Bark and Pittsburg roads, where it remained as a rear guard Monday night, and on Tuesday retired to Mickey's, where it remained three days.
Second Brigade.
(Bowen's.)
From its bivouac Saturday night on the road toward Mickey's this brigade marched by the Bark and Eastern Cor- inth roads Sunday morning to a position between the Peach Orchard and Locust Grove Creek, where it formed in battle line at twelve o'clock under the personal direction of Gen- eral Johnston in the following order from left to right: Ninth Arkansas, Tenth Arkansas, Second Confederate, First Mis- souri, with Hudson's (Mississippi) and Watson's (Louisiana) batteries in the rear, its left eight hundred yards to rear and en échelon to Jackson's brigade. From this position it moved forward at twelve thirty; P. M., and became en- gaged, in conjunction with Jackson, in an attack upon Me- Arthur's brigade just east of the Peach Orchard. The at- tack was successful; the Union line was driven back and pur- sued to the northeast corner of the Peach Orchard. General Johnston, following close to the rear of this brigade, was killed at two thirty P. M.
Bowen was next engaged at Wieker field with troops at the camp of the Twenty-eighth Illinois for two hours, when he was wounded and his brigade fell back to Seventy-first Ohio camp, where Colonel Martin took command and moved forward in time to join Breckinridge in his movement toward the river after the surrender of Prentiss. Martin says he halted within three hundred or four hundred yards of the river when the batteries near Pittsburg and the gunboats opened on him, and being nearly night he fell back "to the first encampment the farthest from the river" and stayed all night. On Monday he was engaged under Breckinridge

and fell back with him to the Bark road, where he bivouacked Monday as rear guard.
No mention in the reports of either Hudson's or Watson's batteries.
Third Brigade.
(Statham's.)
This brigade formed the rear of the army and consisted of the Fifteenth and Twenty-second Mississippi, the Nineteenth Twentieth, Twenty-eighth and Forty-fifth Tennessee, and Rut. ledge's Tennessee battery.
It followed Bowen's brigade, and at noon was put in line south of Peach Orchard en échelon to and eight hundred yards in rear of Bowen. It moved forward into the Orchard, and at about two twenty P. M., was put in position by Gov- ernor Harris and ordered to attack the Union forces at Bloody Pond. It moved to this attack in conjunction with Colonel Maney. After the surrender it joined Breckinridge in his movement east on the ridge. It is not known where it bivouacked Sunday night. On Monday it was doubtless engaged with Breckinridge, but there are no reports of bri- gades or regiments.
Rutledge's battery was first in action on a hill in the rear of the brigade, then reported to General Ruggles and formed a part of his artillery line. On Monday it was near Shiloh Church. The Nineteenth Tennessee went with Colonel Maney Sunday to Lick creek and was with him in the charge at Peach Orchard at two thirty P. M., and at the time of the surrender of Prentiss was with Colonel Looney, Thirty-eighth Tennessee, at the camp of the Third Iowa.
The Twentieth Tennessee must have been engaged Monday with Breckinridge-its colonel, Battle, was captured in the vicinity of Lost field by the Seventy-seventh Pennsylvania.
UNATTACHED CAVALRY.
Forrest's (Tennessee) regiment was guarding the fords of Lick creek until about two thirty P. M., Sunday, when it ar- rived on the field and supported the left of the Twenty-sixth Alabama in the thick wood west of Peach Orchard.

Clanton's (Alabama) regiment moved down the Bark road to Lick creek, and then down the banks of the Tennessee river, guarding the right flank of the army all day Sunday.
Wharton's Texas Rangers was on the left and at about four thirty P. M., Sunday, made a charge at Cavalry field; was repulsed and Wharton wounded. It encamped on the left of the army and supported Ketchum's battery Monday, and in the afternoon charged the Union right and was re- pulsed.
Adam's (Mississippi) cavalry was at ford of Lick creek until two thirty P. M., Sunday, then in reserve.
"Louisiana Cavalry" is mentioned; not certain whether or not it was Scott's First Louisiana.
SHILOH MISUNDERSTOOD. .
"The battle of Shiloh, or Pittsburg Landing, has been perhaps less understood, or, to state the case more accurately, more persistently mis- understood, than any other engagement between National and Confederate troops during the entire rebellion. Correct reports of the battle have been published, notably by Sherman, Badeau, and, in a speech before a meeting of veterans, by General Prentiss; but all of these appeared long subsequent to the close of the rebellion and after public opinion had been most erroneously formed.
"I myself made no report to General Halleck, further than was contained in a letter, written immediately after the battle, informing him that an engagement had been fought and announcing the result."*
This misunderstanding is not confined to either side. It is as common among Confederate as among Union soldiers, and exists equally among the people of the North and of the South, and is to be accounted for by the false and inaccurate reports of the battle which were first given to the public.
The earliest account of the battle to reach the people of the North was written by a correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, who was not upon the field on Sunday, and must

have obtained whatever information he had on the subject, from the stragglers far in the rear of the army.
He had, however, followed the maxim of many newspaper correspondents, then as well as now, "Anything to be first," and seizing upon the wild rumors always floating rearward from the line of battle, he embellished with drafts from his over wrought imagination in order to make it sufficiently sen- sational, and sent it to his paper as "A truthful account by an eye witness," with underscored head lines, which under the present forms should have been printed in red.
This account being the first to reach the public was eagerly read and accepted as true, and has been incorporated by some of the would-be historians, into their books and papers with- out an inquiry as to the truth or falsity of the report. As a result we still read articles which reproduce the startling headlines of that newspaper, announcing "The great surprise at Shiloh." "The camp of a whole division captured at day- light while the men were asleep in their tents." "Officers bay- oneted in their beds," ete.
These articles quite frequently assume, or assert, that these statements are true, and proceed to moralize on the battle of Shiloh from that standpoint.
Whatever excuse the first correspondent may have had for his sensational report, there has been no possible reason for any one to continue to quote his misstatements since the offi- cial reports of the battle have been published, and are accessi- ble to any one caring to know the truth.
These official reports from both Union and Confederate offi- cers, agree that the first shots of the battle of Shiloh were fired at four fifty-five A. M., Sunday morning, in an engage- ment between pickets of Hardee's corps and a reconnoitering party sent out by General Prentiss, and they also show that this picket firing was at a point more than a mile in advance of the Union camps; that, from that point the advance of the Confederates was stubbornly resisted for fully four hours be- fore a camp was captured; and that over one thousand Union soldiers and at least an equal number of Confederates were killed or wounded far in front of the Union camps.
While this fierce conflict was in progress all the troops upon the field had gotten into line, and it is absurd to state that
.

Shiloh Misunderstood.
any soldier remained asleep in his tent, or was unprepared for battle until nine o'clock in the morning, while heavy batteries of artillery and twenty thousand infantry were engaged for four hours in a fierce conflict in front of his camp.
On the Confederate side, also, disagreements existed, their first newspaper reports were as unreliable and their official reports show like evidence of misunderstanding. General Johnston was killed on the field. His version of the plan of battle and his purposes could only be given by the members of his staff, who at once claimed that the battle would have been won if it had been pushed upon the plan which General Johnston had announced, and which was well inaugurated when he was killed.
Subordinates take sides for and against their chiefs with such earnestness that some of the reports take the form of personal controversies which tend to a confused rather than to a perfect understanding of the battle.
The difference of opinions and misunderstandings have been freely discussed on the platform and in the public press until it may seem that the subject is without further interest. Upon careful investigation, however, it appears that much that has been said and written upon the subject has been from a purely personal. standpoint in order to defend a favorite commander, or to show the part taken by some particular command. It also appears that there has been little or no effort made to show the movements of both armies, and with- out discussing the "ifs" or "might have beens" to present the record as we find it, and to leave the student of history to draw his own conclusions and make his own speculations upon any hypothesis that may suggest itself in his fertile brain.
In order to fairly present these official reports and to show their connection, months have been spent in their careful study and comparison, in connection with the accurate topo- graphical maps prepared by the Shiloh National Military Park Commission, as well as in actual tests and measurements upon the field, where each movement has been followed and verified until all have been made to harmonize. In the foregoing pages the reader is given the impartial result of all this labor.
These investigations demonstrate the fact that many criti-
352
Seventy-seventh Pennsylvania Regiment.
cisms upon the battle of Shiloh would never have been made had the critic first visited the field and noted its topography.
It is also found that apparent conflicts in the reports are often explained when they are examined on the ground. In many cases officers occupying adjacent positions upon the same line, at the same time, have each claimed they were alone, unsupported upon the right or left. Survivors of the battle have objected to the continuous lines of battle shown on the maps at certain points, where they thought their com- mands were fighting alone. These differences can usually be explained by the presence of some natural obstruction on the field which would prevent persons at one position seeing those who occupied the other.
Upon one point at least there seems to be no controversy. Up to that time, Shiloh was the most important battle of the war. No such numbers of men had met upon any other field. No such important results had been pending. Its losses, on both sides, compared with the numbers engaged, show it to have been one of the most if not the most sanguinary battles of the war.
The best blood of the North and of the South was freely shed, as testified to by over twenty thousand killed and wounded on that fiercely contested field, yet the results were so evenly balanced that at the time, victory was claimed by both sides.
