Historical artwork depicting the Battle of Battle of Shiloh

Confederate forces under Albert Sidney Johnston launched a surprise dawn attack on Grant's Union army at Pittsburg Landing near Shiloh Church, Tennessee. The Confederates nearly drove the Union into the Tennessee River, but a heroic stand at the 'Hornet's Nest' bought time for reinforcements. Johnston was killed during the assault. Overnight, Union reinforcements arrived, and Grant counterattacked the next day, winning a costly victory with over 23,000 total casualties that shocked the nation.
