[from the diary of Milton W. Humphries of Bryan's battery, as recopied an annotated by him in 1893]]
April 12 We fired a salute, by permission of Brig. Gen. Heth, in honor of the battle of Shiloh, --or rather, I suppose, in honor of the death of Major General Johnsotn, as there was nothing gained by the engagement on either side. My detachment loaded and fired at the rate of 4 times per minute.
