'Shiloh' as Seen by a Private Soldier
by Warren Olney
The Battle of Shiloh
by Joseph W. Rich
Shiloh from the ranks-Shiloh from the historian
The first piece in his vital book is a description of battle from
the sharpest end of combat. It is the recollection of this
momentous conflict of the American Civil War by a very ordinary
private soldier who stood in the ranks of the Union Army-more
significantly from his perspective-among his comrades of Company B,
Third Iowa Infantry. It is not-nor does it purport to be-an
overview of the battle. It is an ordinary soldier's narrow
view-devoid of the larger picture-filled with noise, smoke, mud,
fear and blood. For those who study military history it is, of
course, precisely the kind of invaluable material that brings
history alive. The second piece offers that objective perspective
that the first account lacks. It is an overview and appraisal of
that day of relentless and often controversial collision of arms.
More significantly the author's interest and focus is drawn from
the fact that this was a highly significant event for the State of
Iowa since there were, apart from the Third Infantry, no less than
ten other Iowa regiments engaged upon the field. This is an ideal
book to help gain an understanding of 'both perspectives' of this
famous battle-the human and the academic-within one volume and is
recommended to all students of the period. Available in soft cover
and hard back with dust jacket.
