Friends till the end. Old Joe insisted on removing his cap at Sherman's funeral and contracted pneumonia which resulted in his own death. He told a friend who requested he put his cap on. "If it were Sherman in my place and I in his, he would insist on doing the same". Soon after they were both in the same place.

Although admittedly not really monuments, these are places related to the two, particularly Uncle Billy.

Sherman's headquarters camp was near Shiloh Church

From the Crossroads intersection of the Hamburg-Purdy and Corinth-Pittsburg Landing Roads Sherman's division withdrew to this area from which it launched a counterattack in the early afternoon of April 6:

Great photos thanks for sharing. It is strange in life people can be enemies and also friends. Johnston and Sherman were friends until the end. It shows even after war life goes on and people can heal and really care for each other.
