A Blaze of Glory: A Novel of the Battle of Shiloh Free Audiobook Download by Jeff Shaara
In the spring of 1862, the Wilderness, a small town in North Carolina, was bustling with activity. On one side of the street were the sympathetic people who wanted to help their Confederate neighbors. Men and women rode by on horseback to bring food for the hungry soldiers waiting nearby. Behind them were Federal officers who were commanding the troops in their fortification around Shiloh Church - built over a thousand years before - as they prepared for battle with General Ulysses S. Grant's army that had arrived two days earlier. On the other side of the street were those who wanted nothing more than to see their Southern neighbors burned alive and their homes destroyed. In contrast to this atmosphere, inside a humble room on Main Street, young Reverend Aaron Stevens is studying his Bible and preparing for his next sermon when he is interrupted by an old man who must be near seventy years old but still wearing his blue uniform from the Confederate Army. It's General Gideon Pillow, commanding officer of the forces defending Shiloh Church, come to beg Reverend Stevens to join him in prayer that they might prevail against General Grant's men on Saturday morning at dawn."
