RC79 Regiments & Campaigns Series Two Views of Shiloh Warren Olney & Joseph W. Rich ‘Shiloh’ as Seen by a Private Soldier by Warren Olney The Battle of Shiloh by Joseph W. Rich Shiloh from the ranks—Shiloh from the historian The first piece in his vital book is a description of battle from the sharpest end of combat. It is the recollection of this momentous conflict of the American Civil War by a very ordinary private soldier who stood in the ranks of the Union Army—more significantly from his perspective—among his comrades of Company B, Third Iowa Infantry. It is not—nor does it purport to be—an overview of the battle. It is an ordinary soldier's narrow view—devoid of the larger picture—filled with noise, smoke, mud, fear and blood. For those who study military history it is, of course, precisely the kind of invaluable material that brings history alive. The second piece offers that objective perspective that the first account lacks. It is an overview and appraisal of that day of relentless and often controversial collision of arms. More significantly the author's interest and focus is drawn from the fact that this was a highly significant event for the State of Iowa since there were, apart from the Third Infantry, no less than ten other Iowa regiments engaged upon the field. This is an ideal book to help gain an understanding of 'both perspectives' of this famous battle—the human and the academic—within one volume and is recommended to all students of the period. Available in soft cover and hard back with dust jacket. | ||||
