Webels in the Woods!

Well, we have been known to take in strays.

There were some great smoke rings! Nice pic John.

"Webels in the Woods!"

Bjorn pointed it out. It's the 66th IL Mon.

I can find no monument to this regiment at Shiloh.

John Oates, my Grandfather, is on the bottom row, far right.

There is a large blow up of this picture in the WI Historical Society's building in Madison, WI. Of the men standing in the background, the shortest one on the left side looks just like my younger brother at 20. I've taken this as evidence it is John Oates.

Shouldn't someone be gettin' that wounded man a beer?

One of my very favorite monuments @ Shiloh. Great picture.

These are great Mike. Thanks for posting them.
