How did the Battle of Shiloh get its name?

The biblical name "Hebrew" Shiloh means place of peace "Sha-lome" The Hardin County Tennessee Historical Society, I am pretty sure, had an article some years ago about the church and its orgin. It is my understanding that the Rheas, pronounced Ray were responsible for building the small log church. A brick church now stands on the edge of the park with a cemetary. The union named the battles after landmarks. The South usually named the battles after a town; e.g. Shiloh, Pittsburg Landing, Antietam, Sharpsburg, Bull Run Creek, Manassas Junction I & II, Pea Ridge, Elk Horn Tavern,, The Confederates attacked early in the morning near a church named Shiloh. The Union referred to this battle as Pittsburg Landing as that was the name of the dock where they landed their boats to unload troops.


Why did they call it the Battle of Shiloh?

Shiloh takes its name from a small church on the battlefield of the same name. It is ironic that "Shiloh" is a Hebrew word meaning A PLACE OF PEACE. The battle is also called the Battle of Pittsburg Landing deriving this name from the small trading community on the Tennessee River which is also a part of the battlefield.
