The first day of the 2-day Battle of Shiloh (April 1862), when his army was nearly pushed into the Tennessee River.
Grant himself was absent from the battlefield, accused by his enemies of being drunk, but in fact recuperating from a riding accident, and walking on crutches.
However, it is true that he and Sherman had both declared that there were no enemy troops nearer than Corinth, and so the Union army was taken by surprise.
Still, the second day of the battle brought an important Union victory, with the Southern commander (Sidney Johnston) killed in action, and it was the beginning of the end for Confederate hopes in the Western theatre.
