A note on weapons, tactics, units, and military customs-- 1862 -- April is the cruelest month ;; You must be badly scared -- From failure to fortune -- Nothing can be done -- "Unconditional Surrender" Grant -- This cruel war -- He looked like an old Viking king -- I would fight them if there were a million -- All the furies of Hell broke loose -- What followed, no man could well describe -- Like shooting into a flock of sheep -- It was all a glittering lie -- I will lead you -- My God, my God, it is too late! -- I intend to withdraw -- Ah!

In this gripping telling of the first "great and terrible" battle of the Civil War, Groom describes the dramatic events of April 6 and 7, 1862, when a bold surprise attack on Ulysses S. Grant's encamped troops and the bloody battle that ensued would alter the timbre of the war. 20140110. Shiloh Battle of Tennessee 1862. United States History Civil War, 1861-1865 Campaigns.
