At the mention of Shiloh, most tend to think of two particularly
bloody and crucial days in April 1862. The complete story, however,
encompasses much more history than that of the battle itself. While
several accounts have taken a comprehensive approach to Shiloh,
significant gaps still remain in the collective understanding of
the battle and battlefield. In The Untold Story of Shiloh, Timothy
B. Smith fills in those gaps, looking beyond two days of battle and
offering unique insight into the history of unexplored periods and
topics concerning the Battle of Shiloh and the Shiloh National
Military Park. This collection of essays, some previously
unpublished, tackles a diverse range of subjects, including
Shiloh's historiography, the myths about the battle that were
created, and the mindsets that were established after the battle.
The book reveals neglected military aspects of the battle, such as
the naval contribution, the climax of the Shiloh campaign at
Corinth, and the soldiers' views of the battle. The essays also
focus on the Shiloh National Military Park's establishment and
continuation with particular emphasis on those who played key roles
in its creation. Taken together, the essays tell the overall story
of Shiloh in greater detail than ever before. General readers and
historians alike will discover that The Untold Story of Shiloh is
an important contribution to their understanding of this crucial
episode in the Civil War. Timothy B. Smith is on staff at the
Shiloh National Military Park. He is author of Champion Hill:
Decisive Battle for Vicksburg and This Great Battlefield of Shiloh:
History, Memory, and the Establishment of a Civil War National
Military Park.
