You will love itWonderful. Can't wait to go. Like I said, I'm planning on making the next muster, wherever it is.

Also eagles at certain times of the year I understand.Pardon my ignorance, and I've never been to Shiloh before but the grounds are immaculate it seems. Question for anyone who was there recently, are there still animals in the park? I'm noticing a distinct lack of undergrowth in quite a few areas.
Yes there are . Sadly a storm took the main eagle nesting tree .Also eagles at certain times of the year I understand.
I'll see you (literally - since we also found that one as well while looking for the nearby Confederate burial trench), and raise you the Second Tennessee, a monument near Shiloh Church I'd only seen before in a postcard view.The 13th Missouri Monument is away from the paved road on the West side of the Park near Confederate Burial Trench #22. The are is very quiet and eerily beautiful and a must see for Park visitors.

Two years ago when @mkyzzzrdet and I visited here, the tour road from Bloody Pond past the Indian mounds all the way to the Visitor Center was CLOSED because a baby eagle had fallen out of its nest! Fortunately, however we were still able to walk along the road from the cemetery as far as the mounds so we missed very little and had good views into Dill Branch Ravine and along the river.Yes there are .

James N. Close to same angle as your shot of last year's flooding .
If he's buried there it's probly in CBT on Calvary rd . I will see what I can find outAfter some research and help from those here, I’ve realized I had an ancestor who was part of the 16th Alabama who was lost on the second day of Shiloh.
I’ve been reading a paper which was linked to another thread about Shiloh and trying to follow their movement during the battle.
I have not visited Shiloh and didn’t know if there was a location there which might have even more information about my ancestor and perhaps his burial location? Or, if it is mostly a marked location without a “headquarters.”
My ancestor was so very young as so many who fought in this war. He was only 19 when he passed away.
His brother who was a year older actually was part of the 1st Alabama Cavalry and fought for the Union. My hopes are that the brothers were able to still be brothers up until they left for war.
Are there any specific locations I should be searching to see if my ancestor left any more specific information during his time as a soldier in the 16th?
His name was Peter N. Shotts
Thank you-
