Shiloh Mini-Muster This Past Weekend

[Michael W.]

With our British friends @rebel brit and his wife Gill in country we decided to get together at our favorite battlefield Shiloh. We also decided to host our dear yankee friend Tina aka @NH Civil War Gal to join us as she has been going thru a lot lately with her husband Earl's heart surgery. After I talked to Earl, he insisted that she go. @Ole Miss picked her up at the Memphis airport and brought her to Corinth.

We started by going to a place that @16thAL setup for a good old fashion Southern breakfast grits included. Then we showed her why the battle fought. The crossroads at Corinth. Then the Corinth Interpretive center and even got to see our CWT member and park ranger TomP. More to follow.

We had a great weekend and I was even able to talk Larry DeBerry to give her the Shiloh experience. 2 full days in the park was awesome

I now have in my possession the rarest Shiloh artifact there is but that is for another separate thread but its RARE. I thought @Ole Miss would P his pants when I showed it to him.

Looks like another rewarding tour of Shiloh. Good alternative for folks who couldnt make it to Winhester for whatever reason. @NH Civil War Gal wonderful to learnof your husband's recovery. @rebel brit and Gill, sorry I missed you. This time last year we were the only ones left on the Lotz House tour.

A Shiloh tour like this is still on my bucket list.

There a lot of pages and it is in the top 3 of the RAREST Shiloh artifacts. I'm in the process of getting it copied and transcribed which is going to take awhile but I will be posting a thread on it shortly.
