The Battle of Shiloh: A Study in Leadership and a Terrain Walk
Day, James S.; Truss, Ruth S.
History Teacher, v40 n3 p427-430 May 2007
Students from the University of Montevallo, Alabama's public liberal arts university, re-created the Battle of Shiloh (April 6-7, 1862) approximately twenty miles north of Corinth, Mississippi. For ten weeks in a classroom environment, nineteen students studied strategy, operations, and tactics that affected events nearly 143 years prior. Then, sixteen of those students, each representing a key Union or Confederate commander, stepped back in time for about 45 hours. This two-part course brought to fruition nearly three years of planning and preparation. This article describes the implementation and the outcomes of this two-part course.
