“Mr. Mercat and I have visited Devil’s Den at Gettysburg”
I had ancestors at that end of the battle. Mississippi and Alabama boys. One was buried in the field after Barksdale’s Charge through the Peach Orchard.
War is hell. - At end of Civil War, there were dead bodies
littering the countryside all over just waiting to be
buried. - My gr.gr.grandfather was a Confederate soldier at
the battle of Shiloh. - My grandmother once asked him when
she was a child, “What was it like at Shiloh? Did you kill
anybody?” He replied, “Izora, I don’t know if I killed
anybody or not at Shiloh; it was such a terrible mess
in that battle I don’t see how I could have kept from it.”
I grew up with my parents taking me to Shiloh. I’m almost
70 yrs. old. The Bloody Pond was still very deeply
stained dark brown from the blood that had soaked into
the rocks in the pond from men coming there to wash the
blood off their wounded & dying bodies. - My ancestor had
ZERO slaves.
