April 5, 2012, as part of the
Tennessee Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission's annual
signature event, officials from the Civil War Trust, the National
Park Service and the State of Tennessee, gather to announce
recent preservation successes at the Shiloh Battlefield.

  These efforts include the transfer of 167acres of hallowed ground to NPS, the announcement of a $1.25 million
campaign to save an additional 491 acres of battlefield land at
Shiloh, and an update on progress to preserve 267 acres at nearby
