Excerpt from Abstract of Evidence and Facts Developed
Saturday, March 29, 1862. - Sherman has refused to sign a requisition for seventy-two axes for my regiment, making it twenty-two; and while a slight abattis might prevent or avert an attack, there are no axes to make it nor is there a sledge or crowbar in his division, and scarce a set of tools, out of my regiment.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a meticulous account of events surrounding the Battle of Shiloh during the American Civil War. The author argues that the Union victory at Shiloh, a pivotal moment in the war, was largely due to the courageous actions of Colonel Thomas Worthington and his 46th Ohio regiment. Worthington's strategic repositioning of his troops averted a Confederate attack that would have turned the tide of the battle. The author asserts that this crucial intervention by Worthington, ignored in official reports, was obscured or deliberately covered up by General W.T. Sherman, whose own questionable decisions nearly resulted in a disastrous Union defeat. Ultimately, Worthington's heroism and Sherman's misleading account became subjects of a military court-martial and an ongoing struggle for historical accuracy.
