Welcome to the Blue Gray Alliance 150th. Anniversary Battle of Shiloh Artillery Page.
Registration is now open for this event and filling up fast, if you are interested in coming to this event don't wait.
The Blue Gray Shiloh event promises to be one to remember. There will be several Battles planned over the course of the event. We will put on a full scale Ruggles line with 62 Confederate cannons blazing away at the Union Army heavily entrenched in the Hornets Nest along the Sunken Road. This was the largest Artillery Bombardment known to man at the time. The event has lots of land adjoining the National Park Battlefield for us to use and portray other parts of the Battle.
The Confederate side will be limited to the first 62 period full scale 57'' wheel guns and 4 Mountain Howitzers (already full).
A first come list will be kept after the Artillery is full in case a gun drops out.
