Living just 20 minutes away in Corinth,MS, I've been to Shiloh countless numbers of times. As a child, I went there several times on school "field trips" and watched this film. So many memories from watching this again.
Wow, thank you for posting! Grew up 4 miles away across the river from Pittsburg Landing. We used to could identify the locals & National Guard boys who participated in the filming. I guess I've seen this film 20 times with my TN History classes in the Visitors Center. Got to where I bought my own copy & showed it in class to save tour time. One little 7th grade girl turned around to me while we were watching it once and said wide-eyed, " Mr. Wilson, I know it's just a movie, but why aren't the cameramen getting shot?" Ha!
Fantastic! Thanks for posting. An interesting fact is that this film was produced in the same year that the last Civil War veteran, Albert Woolson, passed away!
@Sue Taft It's unclear who you mean, dishonoring... Look at it this way: History revolves around & thru wars- a simple fact. It's NOT that people love war as much as it is people(intelligent ones) love history. And ALL who have ever fought for countries DID NOT cause or start the wars-they just fought for their respective countries and deserve to be remembered & honored. Saying that Civil War monuments(southern ones) promotes & honors racism is plain WRONG. They are long ago HISTORIC things that should be preserved for their being there decades & decades & decades, if for nothing else. Racist my foot! That's like saying Bugs Bunny & Roadrunner cartoons promotes violence. Preposterous and stupid! I say preserve ALL HISTORIC SITES AS IS! If we don't, we lose a great part of our collective past and history that can never ever be restored. I simply love history...and I pray I'm not alone in that!
I saw this film in 1969 on a cross-country family vacation with my mom driving our Plymouth Fury III station wagon(my dad died some years earlier). Thanks for posting. Brings back great memories...
Shiloh 1956, the best Shiloh fiery trial SUX Country singer Daryl Whorley grew up in savannah, Tn and wrote a song about it called “shiloh” on his album “have u forgotten?” With the title track about 9/11/01.
Tom D the 18th Louisiana was at the first battle of Corinth or siege of Corinth before they were shipped back to Louisiana . One of my great great or so grandfathers enlisted and fought in the 2nd Louisiana cavalry at the age of 49 , I believe he stayed till the end of the war
I ran 3 km once when I was 14 and overweight. It hurt like fucking hell. I ran with my gym teacher. He later became a professional trainer for a handball team.

Excellent! Amazing how this older film portrays events in much clearer detail than most modern videos. Thanks so much for sharing this.

My 3x great grandfather fought for the 10th Arkansas infantry along with my friends ancestors who fought for Tennessee and Texas.

I still say the South should be proud of their heritage. They fought and died very brave!
True!
But don't let the PC hothead hear you say that! History and heritage mean nothing to those SOB's! They dishonor every citizen, then and now!

I remember when the tree where Johnson died was still living.
I recall the tree still there, then later someone put a black iron fence around it. The South never forgot.
Shiloh 1956, the best
Shiloh fiery trial SUX

the evils of government....
I can just imagine the looney tunes theme music at 16:20.
I had 2great great grandfathers who fought in this war they both fought for Shiloh hill
In 1962 my brother found a cannon that was still loaded. He told a ranger but was ignored. That cannon has only recently been found again.
Had a relative with the 18th Louisiana at shiloh
As did I, in Co. D, 18th LA.
My ancestor was an artillery sergeant for the Union who fought at Corinth. He was in his 40's and was mustered out after that due to his age.
Tom D the 18th Louisiana was at the first battle of Corinth or siege of Corinth before they were shipped back to Louisiana . One of my great great or so grandfathers enlisted and fought in the 2nd Louisiana cavalry at the age of 49 , I believe he stayed till the end of the war
I ran 3 km once when I was 14 and overweight. It hurt like fucking hell. I ran with my gym teacher. He later became a professional trainer for a handball team.
To this day I still dislike running.
I'm pretty sure these reenactors were borrowed from Six Flags. Wow.
WOW THANK YOU
My unit the _49th Ohio Volunteers_ received its baptism of fire at Shiloh. -Buckeye Vanguard, USA; Union Forever.
Not as lost cause as I would have expected.
not far from me. such a tragic loss of life.
David Aday I’m 70 miles away from Shiloh, 5 minutes from Brice’s crossroads.
Were you and your family ok?
Wow,look at the uniforms and equipment. Walt Disney could have done better.
This film is not very accurate at times and then is accurate at others.
Look at the different rifles they use. Bolt actions and trapdoors.
If Johnston is not a general then I have none
