shiloh national cemetery印象

If you are in Shiloh National Military Park, please take time to walk through this beautifully maintained cemetery. Stroll along the river and truly visit the past as you see names of soldiers who died here, and many tombs of unknown soldiers. This is like time travel to the past.

The cemetery is very near to the visitors center and you should take the time to experience this as you are visiting the battlefield site.

This National Cemetary is not far from The Shiloh Battlefield welcome center. You will find graves from soldiers, and their spouses, of wars other than the Civil War. Just inside the cemetery gates, you will find plaques describing the cemetery plan, where certain units, etc., are buried, State's sections, notable areas of battle. Toward the back end, on the right, is a wrought iron stairway leading to Pittsburgh Landing----where Grant and troops were off loaded from ships. Many poetical type plaques are interspersed throughout.

The cemetery is next to the Shiloh battlefield visitor center and is worth taking the time to walk through. The Civil War was so many years ago, that it is important for us to remember that this was the most costly of wars, that the USA was involved in. The numerous unknown graves are staggering, as are the numbers of casualties of the 2-day battle. Because it is a National Cemetery, there are also other graves of other veterans from different eras. You can park between the cemetery and visitor center. Restrooms are located in the visitor center.

It always makes me proud to see these sites so well managed and tended. Such a peaceful atmosphere even though a site of much tragedy.

The cemetery is within the national military park and overlooks the Pittsburgh Landing. A peaceful place, well maintained with thousands of graves. Some are just stone markers with no names, others have the names of the poor soldiers - so young.The grounds are beautifully kept and give you a great opportunity for sombre reflection.

At the end of Shiloh battlefield visit, we paid our respect to the many lives lost on those day, and in that terrible war. please make sure you don't miss the Cemetery, just walk in it in silence and think.

I've wanted to come here for a long time to find a family members grave. We met a very helpful ranger when we arrived. I gave him the information, and he walked us to Andrew Murray's grave.It was very moving to be there by his, and so many others graves. The ranger spent quite a while with us talking about the cemetery and other civil war topics. We couldn't have met a nicer person. We also drove the 13 mile tour and learned many new things about the war. It was very emotional and educational. I encourage all to visit there.

The cemetery overlooks Pittsburg Landing, and is within walking distance of the visitors center. Make sure to take the ranger guided walking tour. You'll learn the personal stories of some of the soldiers buried there...and why there are two Confederate soldiers buried there. The cemetery itself is very well maintained, and is a very moving experience.
