 On the morning of April 6,1862 40,000
 confederate soldiers under Gen Albert Sidney
 Johston Pourd out of a nearby woods and
 struck a line of union soldiers occupying
 Pittsburg Landing on the Tennessee River. The
 overpowering Confederate offensive drove the
 unprepared Federal forces from their camps and
 threatened to overwhelm Ulysses S. Grant’s
 entire command. Some Federals made
 determined stands and by afternoon, they had
 established a battle line at the sunken road,
 known as the “Hornet's Nest.
 While there were more Union than Confederate
 casualties, the Union won the battle. The battle of
 Shiloh also known as the Battle of Pittsburg Landing
 was a 2-day Civil War battle resulting in 23,746
 casualties. Union casualties were 13,047 (1,754
 killed, 8,408 wounded, and 2,885 missing); Grant's
 army bore the brunt of the fighting over the two
 days, with casualties of 1,513 killed, 6,601
 wounded, and 2,830 missing or captured. Confederate
 casualties were 10,699 (1,728 killed, 8,012
 wounded, and 959 missing or captured).
The shiloh     war
Defeat seemed
certain, but Union
Brigadier General
Benjamin M. Prentiss
saved the day by holding
a sunken road some 3
feet deep. Thanks to the
tenacious fighting in that
area, it came to be
known as the Hornet’s
Nest.
