Produced by The Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive/American Libraries.) "Shiloh" as Seen by a Private Soldier by Warren Olney is a historical account written during the late 19th century. It offers a unique perspective on the Battle of Shiloh, one of the first significant confrontations of the American Civil War, from the viewpoint of an ordinary soldier. The book delves into the experiences of the private soldiers who fought in the battle, contrasting their reality with that of high-ranking generals who often recorded their more glorified versions of events. In this account, Olney narrates the chaos, fear, and camaraderie that defined the battle through his own experiences as a Private in the 65th U.S. Colored Infantry. He describes the buildup to the battle, the initial shock of the Confederate surprise attack, and the resolve of the Union soldiers despite being caught unprepared. The narrative details the turmoil on the battlefield, the struggles of soldiers to rally in the face of overwhelming odds, and the impact of leadership on their morale. Olney's reflections reveal a deeper understanding of the war's human cost and a powerful message about the courage of the common soldier in a tumultuous time.
