Thought so because. I’ve been all over the Shiloh battlefield. I think my great, great grandpa, his brother and his brothers son fought there.
I’m going on 71. My parents started taking me to Shiloh
when I was a young child. My great-great grandfather had
fought for the Confederacy at Shiloh. Back then, “The
Bloody Pond” was still a very dark old blood, dark brown
color from where the wounded and dying from that battle
crawled down to wash their wounds.
My grandmother once asked my great-great grandfather when
she was a small child, “Grandaddy, did you kill anybody
at Shiloh?”
He told her, “Izora, I don’t see any way I could have
kept from killing people even if I’d wanted to. Shiloh
was such a mess!”
The pond has faded over time; but it was once a deep dark
brown bloodstained reminder of that battle.
