Oh, that was a poem written after the battle by a member of the 2nd Texas.

Simon,
we had not much sun here the last days but anyway, look at the result. All yellowing is gone. It is much more white as on the pic. Have no good light here to make a better pic.
And as you can see, the black color was n´t harmed!
=========
Turned out nice Tom. Maybe I should try some on my teeth
-
Don´t forget, you NEED sunlight!
May it works if you lay on the ground in your garden and put the stuff in your mouth. And to make sure you permanently smiling like a horse 3 days in a row, you have to find someone who shot in your knee

Here ya go tom.....drift wood furniture made in the swiss family Robinson style. A pirate piece like they would have had in Nassau. The materials for this piece all came from the mangroves of key largo except the bronze hardware witch was metal detected at the wreck site of the baltic in elutherea bahamas. Tacked a little cigar box in under my trap door for storing pieces of eight...lol.

The adapted version of Shiloh Hill that most folks are familiar with, goes like this:
Come all you gallant soldiers, a story I will tell,
about the bloody battle on top of Shiloh’s Hill.
It was an awful struggle that caused your heart to chill,
all from the bloody battle on top of Shiloh’s Hill.
‘Twas on the sixth of April, about the break of day,
The drums and fifes were playing, for us to march away.
My feelings at that moment, I do remember still,
When first my feet were tromping on top of Shiloh’s Hill.
About the hour of sunrise, the battle first began,
Before the fight was over, we fought them hand-to-hand.
The horror of that battle, my heart with anguish fill,
the wounded and the dying on top of Shiloh’s Hill.
Early the next morning we fit to fight again,
unmindful of the wounded, un-useful to the slain.
The cannon smoke did hide the sun, ten thousand was a-killed,
and streams of blood went running on top of Shiloh’s Hill.
My uniform of blue was turned into a purplish red,
when someone on a foaming steed did strike me on the head.
I sent a bullet through his heart, and as he fell away,
I saw the face of my dear father, dressed in bloody gray.
We won the battle, but my heart will always be in pain.
The one who brought me to this world, I’ll never see again.
I pray to Christ my savior, consistent with his will,
God save the souls of them poor boys on top of Shiloh’s Hill.

I was actually thinking of purchasing a relic from Shiloh. It's a .58 Cal. three ringer, with a funky impact mark. I might wait until it goes on sale, if it does.

I've been to the Shiloh battle reenactment twice and the Battle of Okolona twice. The Shiloh is quite the site to see. Reenacter's from all over the North and South come to the event.

Hmm. Do they come from the battlefields themselves? Andy Keyser, a reputable relic dealer in Gettysburg, gets relics from detectorists who hunted the battlefields in the 60's and 70's, and buys local collections. The bullet I'm looking at came from the vicinity of the Hornets Nest.
I'll have to email him. Maybe he's got something for cheaper. He knows me, so he might cut me a deal.
