The Civil War would be fertile ground for weapons development, including the widely-successful use of naval explosives. Confederate “torpedoes” proved more than capable of sending Union ships to the bottom of rivers, har

On April 6th, General Albert Sidney Johnston launched an all-out assault against the Union army camped around Pittsburg Landing. The armies would battle over three miles of earth in a contest that stretched over two days
In the weeks before the Battle of Shiloh, both Union and Confederate generals fought different kind of battles. Their decisions, wise and foolish alike, would shape the coming campaign. Happenstance, stupidity, and cunni
