The Battle of Shiloh
Contributed By: MayberryScott · 31 December 2013 · on Familysearch.org
The day was Sunday April 6th 1862, it was the Civil War. It was the first day of the Battle of Shiloh where 45,000 Confederates attacked 65,000 Union troops. David was a soldier in the Confederates and was wounded during the battle. Medical assistance was limited at that time and many during the war died not from wounds sustained from battle but from infections due to the inability to properly keep wounds clean. David received a bullet wound to his right shoulder and puncturing his right lung. He knew that without proper medical attention he knew that he would die from infection.
In order to prevent this from happening to David's body he did something that was both drastic and necessary. He used his silk scarf that he must have received from his wife and using his ram rod from his rifle he threaded his silk scarf from the entry wound and through the exit wound in his body preventing infection from taking place and allowing David to survive the Civil War.
