Were foreign military observers present at the Battle of Shiloh?
Short answerNo account of foreign observers at Shiloh is identified, although European observers appeared around western Union commanders during the war.
NotesNo account of foreign observers at the Battle of Shiloh itself is identified. European observers did appear around western commanders such as Don Carlos Buell. Grant and Sherman attracted interest as their prominence grew later in the war. That wider presence does not establish that observers attended Shiloh.
