Near the end of the first day of the Battle of Shiloh, Union forces were pinned with their backs to the Tennessee River. They managed to hold on and the battle was still undecided at that time. After the war PT Beauregard, who led the Confederates after Major General Albert S. Johnston was killed wrote about the battle. He reported the Union artillery commanded by Colonel J. D. Webster was the reason that the Confederates could not end the battle in victory on that first day.
