Is your scrapbook attributed to anyone specific?
There is a bit of grass that has a small story about where it was picked and is signed "L.S. Bishop"..another name that pops up is under the flower it says it was picked after the battle by "Mrs Kent". I wonder if Shiloh was one of those battles that had spectators?
