Retreat of the Confederates from Shiloh, (1878). Creator: Albert Bobbett
Retreat of the Confederates from Shiloh, (1878). The Battle of Shiloh, also known as the Battle of Pittsburgh Landing, was a major battle of the American Civil War, fought in April 1862 in southwestern Tennessee. After initial success, the Confederates were eventually forced to retreat by Union counter-attacks. At the time the battle was the bloodiest in American history, with over 10, 000 casualties on either side.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the somber scene of the Retreat of the Confederates from Shiloh, a significant event during the American Civil War. Created by Albert Bobbett in 1878, this image depicts the aftermath of the Battle of Shiloh, also known as the Battle of Pittsburgh Landing, which took place in April 1862 in Tennessee. The battle initially saw success for Confederate forces but ultimately resulted in their retreat due to Union counter-attacks. The casualties on both sides surpassed 10,000, making it one of the bloodiest battles in American history at that time. In this engraving from "Our Country: a Household History for All Readers" we see despondent Confederate soldiers riding on horseback and traveling by covered wagon as they retreat from Shiloh. The injured and defeated men reflect upon their loss while contemplating their next move. The historical significance of this moment is captured through artist Felix Octavius Carr Darley's detailed depiction. This print serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during this tumultuous period in American history. As an important document from the 19th century, it provides valuable insight into transportation methods used during wartime and showcases how individuals coped with defeat. It stands as a testament to resilience amidst adversity and offers viewers a glimpse into one chapter of our nation's past.
