Sunday Oct. 20 

0 miles 

In the morning we got some laundry done and Randy had to work on our generator. We blew a fuse and he found out the starter is going out. This afternoon we went to Shiloh Battlefield. WOW!!! First we went to the Visitors Center and watched a 45 min. movie about the battle and then drove through the park. It takes your breath away standing in the same spot where this 2 day battle in 1862 took the lives of 23,746 men and boys. 




 
 Duncan Field - Union troops defended this position for seven hours on April 6,
before finally giving ground. They retook it in the counterattack the next day.
