Shiloh, Hardin County, Tennessee

[1] “Pitts” Tucker founded Pittsburgh Landing, Tennessee by building a tavern and so a town and port was built around that.

Shiloh is of somewhat unknown origins but descendants of the Iroquois settled the area and built the Indian mounds in both Pittsburgh Landing/Shiloh and Savannah, Tennessee.

While Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston was getting his troops ready from both Saltillo, Tennessee and Corinth, Mississippi.

By 1895, the “Manse” George Cabin’s roof had fallen in and everything was in disrepair until 1901 when Theodore Roosevelt became President of the U.S. after the assassination of William McKinley.

The cabin was restored by 1933 and Downtown Shiloh was rebuilt with modern buildings and the original entrance to the park along a road that no longer exists, and all new monuments were built and a brick visitor center was built at Pittsburgh Landing.
