"Pittsburg Landing. From a photograph taken a few days after
the battle."
Engraving after an artwork by J.O. Davidson, published in "Battles and Leaders of the Civil
War", Volume I, page 489. It shows six transports at Pittsburg
Landing shortly after the Battle of Shiloh, in April 1862. The
original caption reads: "Of the six transports, the one
farthest up stream, on the right, is the Tycoon, which
was dispatched by the Cincinnati Branch of the Sanitary Commission
with stores for the wounded. The next steamer is the Tigress,
which was General Grant's headquarters boat during the Shiloh
campaign. On the opposite side of the river is seen the gun-boat
Tyler.
