re: Visiting Shiloh National Military Park

I've hiked all over Shiloh as both a Boy Scout and a troop leader. The place is not exactly crawling with park rangers but you could call ahead and see what they can do to accommodate you. If you do not have any luck then I have two suggestions.
Get the basic Boy Scout hiking trail guide. It will take you all over the park and teach you a lot along the way. The hike itself is 16 miles long.
Read Shiloh 1862 by Winston Groom. It is a good account of the battle and written more from the perspectives of the men who fought it than as a technical manual.

It’s a confusing park because many of the fields were fought over twice and some are heavily forested.
First the rebels drove the Yankees back to the river, then the Yankees rolled them up on the second day when Buell arrived with reinforcements.
I’d recommend trying to follow chronologically so that you can get better perspective as far as what was happening. Otherwise it’s like watching a movie where the scenes are all mixed up.

We went every year with our scout troop here in Bham. Good times.
