11.04.01 Foote, Shelby, Shiloh: A Novel, published in 1952.

Shelby Foote  is best known for his epic and classic   three-volume The Civil War:  A Narrative.   Before he began the thirty years he devoted to that work, he published this novel, Shiloh, which is a vivid recreation of the battle through  the first-person narratives  of participants on both sides.  As always with Foote, General Bedford Forrest looms large in the story.

The book has been reprinted several times, including a paperback edition and is readily available.
