Shiloh was fought on 6 and 7 April 1862 beside the Tennessee River, where Pittsburg Landing was central to the Union position, and these maps of 1959 follow the battle almost hour by hour. Sheets for 9 am, noon, 4 pm and evening on the first day, and evening on the second, show the lines shifting through the fighting. Others cover the Confederate advance of 5 and 6 April and the Union dispositions on the battlefield, and two campaign maps set the scene in the weeks before, from the Henry and Donelson operations of February to the situation on 29 March.
