shiloh was this close of a victory for the south. can you imagine if you threw 16,000 more con fed rats on there. what would have happened at battle of shiloh? they were denied that battle. and they could have gone the other way. another fort donelson legacy. so another -- i'm going to badger this point. donelson campaign was so pivotal and it breaks my heart that it's not as remembered as it should be. lessons for today, a lot of studies for command, command and control personalities. fort donelson campaign, what makes it a fun campaign is looking at the personalities on the union side they had more of a traditional unified command. you had the commander in st. louis and the grant in cairo. say what you will about general hallick. he may have overwhelmed the telegraph lines with notes to grant telling him to do this and that. but grant always knew, at least what hallick wanted him to do. it may not have been possible for some of the things he wanted. he didn't understand what was on the ground. he gave grant enough trust to do what

grant's army at pittsburgh landing, a place better known as shiloh. van doran needed a little encouragement. he was determined to salvage his reputation on another perhaps larger stage. it took weeks for the shattered army of the west to recover. heavy spring rains caused additional delays, and so it was that van doran's army did not reach the rendezvous point in mississippi until after the battle of shiloh had been fought. in fact, they arrived at korinth about the same time the demoraliz demoralized, defeated army fell back from shiloh. the troops were certainly welcome at the blood-letting at at shiloh, but to give you an idea how big a catastrophe shiloh was, van doran's entire army did not even come close to making up for the losses incurred in that battle. as they say on it tv, but wait, there's more. van doran did not merely transfer himself in the army of the west from one side of the mississippi river to the other side of the mississippi river. he alberto z arkansas, missouri, northern, louisiana, and the i understand territory. now he took h

and that's where the battle shiloh comes about. someone else first? yes. wait, you already asked one. you already asked one, too. come on. >> the breakout, there were a lot of other people went along with him. now did they -- the different brigade generals, the different group leaders say you want to go force? not whole groups went. >> that is a case by case basis. the question is general forest in fort donelson, he takes his own command. but what about the other guys that went with him? about another 800 to 1200 guys went with force. how did that come about? was it in the question was, was it a -- i'll just say. it was a case by case basis. word got out that forest was going to make a run for it and break out. if you had a horse, like if you're an artilleryman and you have a horse, get on the dang horse and follow him. if you're on foot, that's kind of tricky. a lot of guys would have loved to break out but they were on foot. it was being overtaken by cavalry. so a lot of guys didn't make the bold choice to escape. so really came down to if you have a hor

and then move on to discuss again the peninsular campaign, shiloh, gettiesburg, emancipation, all the other iconic issues that make the civil war a traumatic turning point in our national history. in part perhaps this is because to many the history of the blockade seems a rather, well, tedious subject. and to many, it was. certainly for the thousands of men, tens of thousand of men. who spent their days bobbing around off the coast of the south-atlantic where they swatted mosquitoes and marked of the days on a calendar. let me make an attempt to rescue them from an historical footnote. in assessing the union blockade, it's important to appreciate that it was different from any that had ever been attempted previously. to be sure, the british had employed blockades against the french and their war with their cross channel foe, with the americans in the revolution in the war of 1812. but the purpose of those blockades was to blockade enemy warships to prevent those warships from getting to sea. the object of the union blockade against the confederacy was very different and far more ambit

shiloh. how could it be that dangerous in a market. you look at the analyst coverage.ht buys, three holds, not a single sell in this one, and you got to figure there's a substantial cohort of bulls out there since vera has rallied over 18% this year. on the other hand, vera bradley is one of the most heavily shorted short sold bet against stocks i have ever seen in my whole career. it has a 19 -- shares of the float have been sold short. 10.9. in other words, more than half of the people in this stock are betting it will go south. 57% to be exact. it's true that the shortage has been declining of late. that's still a huge amount of short sellers. now, vera reports the week after next. march 14th. that creates a combustible situation that i frankly don't want any part of. see, as i get older, i wouldn't be saying that ten years ago even i wouldn't be doing this piece if i were doing it like that. as i get older, i recommend that some things are noble to me, and along with what is the sound of one hand clapping, buff these questions is how does a stock react to the quart
