Shiloh's State Monuments

I have been quite busy as of late working on several projects, which I will hopefully be able announce/post about on here soon. One of them is my upcoming Shiloh presentation for the James A. Garfield NHS Major Battles of the Civil War series, which will take place on April 11 at noon, at the Mentor Public Library (all are welcome, the program is free, call ahead for reservations at 440-255-8811).


Thus, for today's post in my ongoing Shiloh series, I thought I would go with some pictures of various state monuments from my visit. Below, you will find nearly all of the state memorials at Shiloh, save for the Alabama and Kentucky memorials (I saw each, just seemed to forget to take a picture, oh well, there is a good reason to go back!).
