Interview: Shiels, “Green & Blue”

One of my hobbies is walking battlefields and that will probably be the major source of posts. Plus I will post about other things that spark my interest, from oddities found while researching to observations on the war.

Huzzah! Thanks, Nick, I hadn't seen any of these when I visited the battlefield several years ago. Very nice shots.
Except for the 7th and 15th Pennsylvania the rest are behind the Wilder monument. They performed duties south of the battlefield and their monuments were placed here rather than outside of the park boundaries. The 7th Pennsylvania is near Reed's Bridge. The 15th Pennsylvania is near Rosecrans' headquarters north of Lytle Hill.
Great stuff. I love cavalry monuments and the Wisconsin one was my favorite of your group. Thanks for the pics.
Thanks. I've heard that the 1st Wisconsin cavalry monument is the most photographed monument in the park. Not sure how anyone would know that but I remember reading it in some park brochure.
My 5th great grandfather, Robert Lewis Phillips, fought with the 1st Wisconsin Cavalry.
