The Church of "Peace"

  • The battle was named after a church named Shiloh
  • The reason the Battle of Shiloh took place at the Shiloh church was because some of Grant's troops were camped there while waiting for more troops, however Johnston's forces surprise attacked them and the battle had begun.
  • The Church of Shiloh ironically translates to "Place of Peace".
  • The "Place of Peace" was said to be completely destroyed after battle, and the logs were used for making a bridge.

  • The Church of Shiloh presently appears as:

  • The inside of the log church looks like:
