2 Ibid., Vol. X, Part 2, p. 91. This may be as good a place as any to point out that Shiloh is exhaustively covered in B. & L., Vol. I, in articles that extend from p. 465 to 610, that there is an excellent account of the battle in Stanley Horn’s The Army of Tennessee, pp. 122-43, and that T. Harry Williams discusses it in his P. G. T. Beauregard, Napoleon in Gray, pp. 133-149. One of the most moving descriptions is in Lloyd Lewis’s Sherman: Fighting Prophet, pp. 219-31.

5 It might be noted that Confederate reports in the Official Records do not bear out the rumors that Federal troops were surprised in their tents. Uniformly, the Confederate accounts describe very stiff resistance from the beginning; General Hardee tells of Federal attacks on his skirmishers at dawn, before the main attack got rolling. See Official Records, Vol. X, Part 1, pp. 513, 514, 532, 536, 541, 548, 568, 573, 581.
