Battle of Shiloh Bookmark

Battle of Shiloh Bookmark – Civil War History Gift for Book Lovers

On the morning of April 6, 1862, Confederate forces burst out of the Tennessee woods and slammed into Grant's unsuspecting Union army camped along the banks of the Tennessee River. The surprise attack nearly destroyed the Federal force in a single day of savage fighting through peach orchards, ravines, and a bullet-swept clearing that soldiers would forever call the Hornet's Nest. By nightfall Grant's army had been pushed to the river's edge — and the nation was staggering under casualty figures it had never imagined possible.

But Grant refused to retreat. Reinforced overnight, Union forces counterattacked on April 7th and drove the Confederates from the field. When the smoke cleared, over 23,000 Americans on both sides had been killed, wounded, or captured in two days — more casualties than the entire Revolutionary War. Shiloh shattered forever the illusion that the Civil War would be short, clean, or painless.

This premium aluminum bookmark features striking Civil War artwork commemorating the Battle of Shiloh, making it a powerful gift for anyone fascinated by Ulysses S. Grant, the war in the Western Theater, Tennessee history, or the brutal turning points of America's deadliest conflict.

Perfect for Civil War historians, Grant admirers, Tennessee history enthusiasts, military history readers, and anyone who has visited Shiloh National Military Park.
