Bjorn Skaptason's Battle After Johnston: The Confederate Attempt to Fulfill the Battle Plan Shiloh

Parking:  Meet at Tour Stop #17 (Bloody Pond)
Distance:  2 Miles
Terrain:  Very Difficult, through deep ravines, across streams, and through underbrush off-trail.  Appropriate hiking gear and footwear highly recommended.
After the death of General Albert Sidney Johnston the Confederates were faced with the challenge of completing their mission – to drive the Federals away from the river, force them into the swamps to the north and northwest, and destroy them – without the leadership of their inspirational commander.  In the hours following Johnston’s death a number of high ranking Confederates attempted to seize the initiative and drive the attack home.  Join Park Volunteer Bjorn Skaptason and explore the rugged terrain on the eastern edge of the battlefield and examine the fighting of the common soldier and the Confederate leadership guiding the continuing struggle to maintain the proposed battle plan.
