Summary
edit
| Description |
English: This image from a West Point atlas has been rotated so north is at the top, and TwoScarsUp has added more labels to make it easier to read. (Note that the "North arrow" is not perfectly straight "up"—this is correct.) The map shows the positions of the Union and Confederate armies on the Shiloh battlefield around 9:00 AM on April 6, 1862. The location of Fraley Field, the Crossroads, the Sunken Road, the Hornet's Nest, and the Peach Orchard are based on maps in "Shiloh and the Western Campaign of 1862" by O. Edward Cunningham found on pages 155, 220, 260, and 267. |
