Confederate Memorial

At the Battle of Shiloh, the states of the South sent seventy-nine organizations of infantry, ten organizations of cavalry, and twenty-three batteries of artillery. The men who served the Confederate States of America fought there bravely, and the field was hallowed by their sacrifices, whether they died in distant places or lay there in traceless dust. The living remnant of that host of gray and its dead were honored by a loving and grateful people, with an appeal to stand for patriotism, principle, and conviction as they did, even unto death.
