The Guns of Shiloh, a complete story in itself, is the complement of The Guns of Bull Run. In The Guns of Bull Run the Civil War and its beginnings are seen through the eyes of Harry Kenton, who is on the Southern side. In The Guns of Shiloh the mighty struggle takes its color from the view of Dick Mason, who fights for the North and who is with Grant in his first great campaign. The Guns of Shiloh, published in 1913, covers the period from July 1861 through the battles of Mill Springs (19 Jan 1862), was known by the Confederate Army as the Battle of Fishing Creek; Fort Donelson (11-16 Feb 1862); and Shiloh (6-7 Apr 1862).
