CivilWarTalk Throwback Thursday

[James N.]

Before leaving April and its anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh I thought this week's Throwback Thursday would feature a couple of photos from a quick visit to the battlefield I made along with my then-girlfriend Charla in April, 1973! Above, Charla inspects a mixed battery of guns along Grant's Last Line; below, I'm standing beside a 30-pounder rifled Parrott belonging to an Ohio battery in the same general area.

Anyone else having (preferably) old Civil War-related photos, mementos, or memorabilia from reenactments, living history or other events or vacation or other travel that they would like to share with us is welcome and encouraged to add them to this weekly thread!

1973. I remember it well.

Since it's Throwback Thursday, this is me in the mid 70s at Shiloh. I was a mere infant.
