The 45th Tennessee was there when Albert S. Johnston died
By MIKE WEST, Managing Editor
When you visit Shiloh Battlefield great significance is placed on an area called the Peach Orchard. The area is tour stop 13 at the national battlefield.
The spot is where the Confederate Army of Tennessee tried to turn the Union left at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 6, 1862.
It was one of the most crucial moments in one of the four most important battles of the Civil War.
Confederate Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston hoped to reverse a series of Rebel losses in the Western Theater by surprising Union Brig. Gen. U.S. Grant’s forces near Pittsburg Landing on the Tennessee River.
