- Title
The Battle of Shiloh: A Study in Leadership and a Terrain Walk.
- Authors
Day, James S.; Truss, Ruth S.
- Abstract
The article discusses how students from the University of Montevallo in Alabama re-created the Battle of Shiloh. Nineteen students studied strategy, operations and tactics that affected events nearly 143 years ago. Sixteen of those students represent key Union or Confederate commander. It took them three years to plan and prepare for the two-part course. In the first part, instructors talked about general events leading to war in the mid-nineteenth century and specific developments during the early stages of the Civil War. The second part, which is the terrain walk, was based on the Staff Ride concept developed by U.S. Army Captain Arthur L. Wagner and enforced by Major Eben Swift at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas in 1906.
