Shiloh is the battle that forecast the war — the April 6-7, 1862 collision at Pittsburg Landing where Johnston's 44,000 hit Grant's camps at dawn and the killing that came was like nothing before: 23,746 casualties in two days, the Hornet's Nest holding the Sunken Road through the afternoon, Johnston himself bleeding out from a leg wound while his army won the first day and lost the second.
The peach orchard bloomed over the dead; the national cemetery and the battlefield park Congress made in 1894 keep the ground — the mounds of the Tennessee Valley's older dead beside the Civil War's, the log Shiloh Meeting House rebuilt on its site, the Hornet's Nest Brigade reunions that marked the road before the park did. Grant's counterattack saved the landing; the war's arithmetic changed.
The file keeps Shiloh: the dawn surprise, the Hornet's Nest, Johnston's death, and the casualties that told both armies what the war would cost.
Shiloh is the archive's Western Theater file — the battle that made the war's scale plain.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Shiloh is the archive's Western Theater file — the 1862 battle and the 23,746 casualties.
A battlefield's name keeps its cost — the file's suggestion being that Shiloh's hold is the forecast: the two days that proved the war would be long, and the meeting house that gave the slaughter its name.
