In this missive Ambrose Bierce recounts two days in his life, April 6 and April 7, 1862, perhaps the two most significant days of his life. He and over 100,000 other combatants have gathered about a small church near the town of Corinth, "a wretched place--the capital of a swamp, two days' march west of the Tennessee River". The church is Shiloh, and it will lend its name to the great battle that took place there.

Each episode Dave and Shiloh talk about a different person from history and you the listener try to figure out who in the world they are talking about.

Two fans of history talk about their favorite events, people, and strange stuff one century at a time.
