    Re: Vote for your Pittsburg Landing T-Shirt

    My vote goes for # 1. But they are all very well done and whichever one wins should sell very good. These types of things are what keeps projects like the Iowa Battle Flags Project going. Great work and I applaud your efforts Brandon!

    (FYI-Shiloh Attendees) I just got back from Ft. Donelson this past weekend and they have been getting A LOT of rain in Tennessee this winter. Hopefully it will dry out in time for Shiloh but right now its very saturated there. A lot of standing water and bankfull creeks/rivers.

      The shirts all look great. I voted for #3 though just for the quote alone :)

      Well lets hope for historically correct weather ;)

      THE LAND WAS SOFT WITH SPRING. Tennessee was ablaze with bright sunshine, fragrant flowers, and verdant, spring green vegetation. In camp along the banks of the Tennessee River at Pittsburg Landing, 22 miles north of Corinth, Mississippi, the soldiers of Major General Ulysses S. Grant's Union Army of the Tennessee were lolling amid an idyllic setting during the first week in April 1862. Wrote one at-ease Illinois volunteer on Saturday, April 5th, "The weather here is almost as hot as August there [in Illinois] and the boys are enjoying themselves hugely, lying in the shade when off duty, barefoot, pant and shirtsleeves rolled up, collars unbuttoned and thrown open, thus presenting the most complete picture of laziness I ever saw. The timber is getting green as midsummer; the leaves are almost as thick as they will ever be, and wild flowers have gotten to be an old story."
      If those poor boys only knew what was ahead of them the next day :(

        Just a few days left to vote! There will only be about three weeks to pre-order, so when the time comes, order fast. I will have a website ready to go for everyone to make their orders, so it will be quick and simple.
