Shiloh is such a gorgeous park and it's story is, in my opinion, the most dramatic of all. What chaos, bravery, and shock emerged from it all. Thanks for honoring it with your video series. It would be amazing if you would return on the anniversary of the battle when a candle is lit for every soldier killed or wounded. The landscape literally glows at night. Very sobering, melancholy, yet beautiful.
Thanks so much for this ABT! My ggg grandfather Azer Thomas was in the 77th Ohio Regiment. This area holds a greater value to me personally. He was captured there and taken to Tuscaloosa Alabama where he died as a POW.
How stunningly.beautiful the battlefield landscapes are.Thank you from England.I do so love the series on the Western Theater.Regarding Fallen Timbers and the Forrest ‘myth’, with respect , we weren’t there. Exceptional events do happen. A wounded animal is very dangerous, and General Forrest a powerfully built man was such a man,exceptional.
Can be done. Use horse's momentum, all you have to do is get person's shoulders across withers...then the person will naturally hold on and try to get better purchase (especially if not used to horses) for fear of being trampled if they fall off.
In between the 7:00 -7:03 minute mark something passes to the left of the goomer talking as goes out of the camera shot into the woodline. Probably a vehicle, l've been to Fallen Timbers a few years back. It's was kind of hard to find without an address. Glad it was posted before the men started jaw-jacking. I see Garry is still wound up like an eight day clock!
Same here. I’m in my 60s and in the same area - not once in my life have I ever heard locals call a tornado a cyclone. They did use the term “cyclone” in the press when a tornado went through Shiloh battlefield in 1909, but that is considered antiquated usage today. As to the theory that the fallen trees were the result of a “cyclone” in the period before the 1862 battle I will agree that is highly likely the cause of the “fallen timbers.”
Fallen Timbers was the Battle General Anthony Wayne and his Captain of a company of Rifleman, Captain Richard "Shawtunte" Sparks, defeated an Indian Confederacy, consisting of Shawnee, Delaware, Wyandotte, Potawatomi and Ottawa warriors. Fought in NW Ohio. This Battle, which followed by nearly 200 yrs, should have been called something different, out of respect for those who fought and died before them!
It was brave of Sherman to admit right away what had happened there and not try and whitewash it into something more noble on his part. Every man really wants to be the hero of his own story.
It's possible he picked up a Union soldier and threw him up across the horses rear. Forrest was a very strong man and he likely would have picked a young, thin and weak looking guy. And don't forget his adrenaline would have been super charged.
Read about another battle of the same name: 'The Battle of Fallen Timbers (20 August 1794) was the final battle of the Northwest Indian War, a struggle between Native American tribes affiliated with the Western Confederacy and their British allies, against the nascent United States for control of the Northwest Territory.'
My 4th great uncle was a scout and Captain of a company of Riflemen with Gen Anthony Wayne. He had been taken, and adopted by the Shawnee, taken into the family of Tecumseh, becoming his brother. He was with the Shawnee from age 3 to age 21. He had been, in fact a Shawnee warrior, before being repatriated after the death of Tecumseh's father at the Battle of Point Pleasant in Lord Dunsmores War. He knew the area like the back of his hand. Features, villages, trails and leaders of the various tribes, tendencies, tactics and was very instrumental in information and the final battle plan. Wayne is the first to listen to him. Beforehand, Gen St Clair and Col Crawford had ignored his suggestions from his scouting for them, and both met with disaster.

that was NBF you can hear the horse hooves
I hate to disagree with General Hills but I've lived in the Corinth area since 1969 and have never once heard anyone call a tornado a cyclone.

Well there's two Yorktowns too, it's not a big deal.

If the rebel (Forrest) had not emptied his pistols my career would have ended right there.
Gen Sherman.
Nice. Eaglegards...

Did I miss the Union sweep of Confederate forces?
I guess the Union counterattack was not important?
