    Artist Felix Octavius Carr Darley was an American painter known for his illustrations in works by well-known 19th-century authors, including James Fenimore Cooper, Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Washington Irving, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
    This view captures the drama of the Battle of Shiloh's second day, when Grant counterattacked and drove the Confederates back to Shiloh Church, a major victory for Union forces.
    Confederate General Albert Sidney Johnston was killed during the Battle of Shiloh. He was the highest ranking general on either side killed during the war.
