Synopsis
New insights into Shiloh and the Tennessee campaign—through the eyes and papers of Col. Thomas Worthington.
This nonfiction collection compiles official and personal documents surrounding Worthington’s court-martial and the controversial events at Shiloh in 1862. It includes notes, correspondence, and testimony that illuminate the pressures, decisions, and disputes of the time, offering a detailed look at how military leadership and accountability were questioned during the war.
Readers will glimpse the path from battle to controversy, including how reports were shaped, what witnesses claimed, and how one officer’s service was interpreted by higher command and the public. The material presents both the charges faced and the surrounding context, without advancing a single conclusion.

- Accounts of court-martial proceedings, including charges and testimony surrounding duty, conduct, and discipline.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a meticulous account of events surrounding the Battle of Shiloh during the American Civil War. The author argues that the Union victory at Shiloh, a pivotal moment in the war, was largely due to the courageous actions of Colonel Thomas Worthington and his 46th Ohio regiment. Worthington's strategic repositioning of his troops averted a Confederate attack that would have turned the tide of the battle. The author asserts that this crucial intervention by Worthington, ignored in official reports, was obscured or deliberately covered up by General W.T. Sherman, whose own questionable decisions nearly resulted in a disastrous Union defeat. Ultimately, Worthington's heroism and Sherman's misleading account became subjects of a military court-martial and an ongoing struggle for historical accuracy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
