After watching the movie at the VC, I drove to Fraley Field and parked. I did a lot of walking but I really understood the battle more by being able to walk the land, see the fields, and follow the movements chronologically. It took all day and I was pretty exhausted, but it was worth it. Make sure to bring a lot of water and some bug spray. The next day I used the auto tour to get a better understanding of what exactly happened at each of the stops. And then the following day, after I recovered a little from the first day (I'm really not in very good shape), I walked on other trails off the beaten path. Shiloh is an amazing place. When you get off the roads, you definitely feel you are on hallowed ground, especially when you come across one of the burial trenches. I hope you have time to explore Corinth while you are there. To get a perspective on where the railroads cross and where Shiloh is can help understand the story, also. There is also a wonderful Interpretive Center in Corinth.
