Year: 1963

With Richard Tucker, second voice, live tape from The Attic in Boulder, Colorado. Released for Record Store Day in 2012 by Third Man Records. A second earlier version than the author's appeared posthumously on Karen's 1966 album, along with a version of Tim Hardin's Reason To Believe.

Covers:

1968:

Richie Havens [as Shadow Town on lp Electric Havens]

Tim Hardin [author on Dutch 45 (Philips) and album Nine (in '74); an earlier version recorded in Nashville in '68 was shelved]

The anti war lyrics resonate best in the author's versions. The Battle of Shiloh (on the border between TN & MS) was one of the bloodiest of the Civil War.
