Images from Shiloh: Some State Monuments, Pennsylvania and the U.S. Navy

One of best parts of our Shiloh trip was the meal at the end of the day!  Nothing like hamburger, potatoes, onions and carrots cooked in charcoal.

Final images from Shiloh:

 Honorable Son #5 asked me if there were any Pennsylvania regiments at Shiloh.  I answered that all of the Pennsylvania units were east with the Army of the Potomac.  About an hour later we ran across the memorial for the only Pennsylvania regiment at Shiloh, the 77th Pennsylvania.
