Shiloh National Military Park
National Military Park · Shiloh, Tennessee
Four thousand acres of west Tennessee farmland and oak woods above Pittsburg Landing, preserved almost exactly as it was fought over on 6 and 7 April 1862 — the bloodiest battle in America at the time it happened, and still one of the least altered Civil War fields anywhere. A 12.7-mile auto tour follows the two days in sequence past the Hornets' Nest, the Sunken Road and the Peach Orchard, and a national cemetery stands on the bluff above the river. On that same bluff, and almost universally walked past, sits a National Historic Landmark Mississippian mound complex a thousand years older than the battle.
