Summary The Battle of Shiloh documentary takes the viewer to the fields of western Tennessee. They are filled with soldiers. Thousands of soldier reenactors set up camps and cook on open fires. Horses are everywhere. The scene looks like 1862 with men pitching tents and cleaning rifles. The documentary covers the two day 150th anniversary reenactment of the Battle of Shiloh. Approximately 140 cannons form long booming lines that cause the field to thunder. Long lines of blue and gray infantry march across the fields on a collision course. These soldiers recreate battle movements of the original Hornet's Nest, Peach Orchard, Ruggles Line, Wheat Field and more. There are two DVDs in this set. DVD 1 provides highlights of the two-day reenactment plus it includes a brief tour of the Shiloh National Battlefield Park. DVD 2 takes the viewer on a tour of the Confederate and Federal camps, the sutlers area and the Saturday night dance. It also includes substantial coverage of Battery C, 3rd Iowa Independent Regiment of Light Artillery. Other units featured throughout the film include the Alamo Rifles, the Razorback Flying Battery and Burroughs' Battery. View more details
