I am always fascinated by the beauty and mystery of the Shiloh National Cemetery and love to walk its grounds looking at the stones and wondering about the life and story of each person lying below the Known and Unknown markers. In one of my wanderings I found the grave of Sergeant N. P. Swiggitt , Company F 1st Nebraska Infantry buried in grave #1213 section A and quickly noticed that he was from NEB. I admitted to being completely unfamiliar to what, if any, role Nebraska troops played in the battle of Shiloh and decided to see if I could find any other Nebraska soldiers under the West Tennessee soil far from home. I have posted photographs of the 2 men I discovered buried in the cemetery.
