Looks in detail at the fiercest fighting at the battle of Shiloh, called the Hornet's nest. What had begun as a surpise attack by the southern forces who routed the northern troops, was turned around when a small contingent commanded by William Wallace, had his troops hold a wagon road. When that position fell, the southern general didn't pursue the advantage and was surprised by Grant and fresh troops from Ohio the next day.
