The battle at Shilo during the Civil War where more than 10,000 soldiers perished, a very somber place to visit

Stopping to tour and photograph the Shilo National Military Park was a very moving moment in time for me. The battle was not long yet over 10,000 soldiers perished. As you tour the park, you will see many monuments erected from many states from the north and south. A touching moment for me was when I looked up the hill across the meticulously maintained graveyard in the middle was Old Glory waving proudly.

Looking across the cemetery at Shiloh, TN. Hard to believe over 10,000 men died in a short battle during the Civil War. If you look close you will see that some headstones are bigger than others. This is a result of the soldier's rank.
