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.”

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.
