Fort Sumter (1861)
“I have rode over this field and through
the dead...when the stench was so
intolerable that my company, and old
soldiers at that, had to throw their dinners
all overboard, and that on horseback

landmarks from Monday till Friday night,

you could hardly tell what they were, and
Shiloh (1862)
Union men at that...literally torn all to
pieces, heads gone and bodies cut right in
two...”
