The Memoirs of General Ulysses S. Grant
Part 2.

CHAPTER XXV
19/25

We were successful in driving them back, but not so successful in captures as if farther pursuit could have been made.

As it was, we captured or recaptured on the second day about as much artillery as we lost on the first; and, leaving out the one great capture of Prentiss, we took more prisoners on Monday than the enemy gained from us on Sunday.

On the 6th Sherman lost seven pieces of artillery, McClernand six, Prentiss eight, and Hurlbut two batteries.
On the 7th Sherman captured seven guns, McClernand three and the Army of the Ohio twenty.
At Shiloh the effective strength of the Union forces on the morning of the 6th was 33,000 men.

Lew.

Wallace brought 5,000 more after nightfall.
