Tennessee Monument

At the Battle of Shiloh on April 6th and 7th, 1862, Tennessee organizations engaged included the artillery units Bankheads's Battery, McClung's (Caswell Artillery) Battery, Miller's (Pillow Flying Artillery) Battery, Polk's Battery, and Rutledge's Battery, as well as the cavalry 3rd (Forrest's) Regiment. The Tennesseans were remembered in the words attributed to Brigadier General Patrick R. Cleburne, as recounted by a soldier in the 23rd Tennessee Infantry, that they had more to fight for because the fight was for their homes and firesides.
