Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:

“And finally, there was the simple memory of personal valor – the enduring realization that when the great challenge comes, the most ordinary people can show that they value something more than they value their own lives.”

Bruce Catton

PULITZER PRIZE HISTORIAN

THE AMERICAN HERITAGE PICTURE HISTORY OF THE CIVIL WAR

 

SHILOH

the battle fought at a "place of peace"

 

When the Methodists of Pittsburg Landing in

Tennessee built their church, they named it ``Shiloh"

-a place of peace. But on Sunday morning, April 6,

1862, Federals under U. S. Grant and Confederates

under Albert Sidney Johnston turned that peaceful

churchyard into a shell-torn battlefield.

 

Shiloh is again peaceful, and a visit will make you

proud that our National Park Service has made it a

national shrine. Mockingbirds sing over the silent

guns near the beautiful river bank. The Peach

Orchard is heavy with fruit. Bloody Pond, where

both Blue and Gray came to share water and bind

their wounds, reflects a placid sky. But as you drive

through the battlefield, or follow the backwoods

lanes Gen. Lew Wallace marched along to Grant's

relief (and to later fame as author of "Ben Hur"),

you see a thousand reminders of war, and the courage

war demands.

 

With all its historic import, Shiloh is only one

battlefield in this scenic state which saw such hard

fighting. There are Forts Henry and Donelson, where

Grant learned to fight in '61. There is Stone's River,

where CSA Gen. Braxton Bragg won a battle in '63

and lost a campaign. And there are the heart-pounding

calvary raids of Nathan Bed ford Forrest-con-

sidered by many today to have been one of the war's

greatest cavalry commanders. In your car, you can

follow the highway markers that blaze the historic

roads his Gray horsemen galloped over, striking the

Federals 11 times in 18 hard-riding days.

 

Few of the men, North or South, who fought in

Tennessee were military men. Most were boys who

joined up after hearing bugles or distant drums. But

in the shock and confusion, the terror and the courage

that is war, they became veterans who were

proud to fight for their beliefs. In this world of

angry challenge, our generation can take inspiration

from their memory-and learn anew the devotion to

duty which values our nation's heritage above even

life itself.

A sobering, important and great Vintage Ad!

You pick your frame color, and you pick your mat color. We will mat and frame your Vintage Ad per your request and send it to you promptly. All you have to do is remove it from the box and hang it on the wall in your home, office, garage, man cave, or showroom!

We mat and frame original, vintage magazine ads...they are in good condition, but may not be perfect as they are many decades old. Frame outside dimensions are 15" x 12", and matted ad is approximately 9-5/8" x 6-5/8" (could be slightly different, depending on ad).

Frames and vintage ads are actual as shown, and mat is computer generated for online viewing. Actual mat is custom cut for each individual ad and mat color will be similar to the colors shown on the website. “Travel Route 3 Scan” watermark is placed on the ad for online viewing only, and is not part of the final product. Back side of Vintage Ad is glued to backing paper so that it continues to display flat over time. Here is what you will receive:
