Wisconsin casualties at Shiloh

One of my side projects I've done during my Shiloh research is to compile lists of the casuaties. I know I can never acheive any 100% accurate results but at least for the dead I can probably come close. This has to be the dullest post I've ever made, just a simple list of all the casualties in the three Wisconsin regiments (I have lists for nearly all the Union regiments and a sizeable portion of the Confederates). But I'm going to defend it because it gives some perspective on the shear numbers of killed, wounded and captured. If your relative is listed here I'm sure you'll find this list useful. If you have no relative here at least you can see the size of the list and have a slightly better appreciation for the toll of this one battle on these three regiments. Maybe next time you stand at the Wisconsin monument in the rear of the Sunken Road you'll think of this list and be thankful for the sacrifice all of our men (and now women) in the armed forces have made over the last 200 plus years.

Quick thanks for this. I recently stumbled on info that my great2 grandfather Michael E. O'Connell (16th Wisconsin, Co. G) had been wounded at Shiloh. Somehow that info never got passed down. A quick follow up found he was in G Company, but not until finding your post was I able to confirm the regiment.
