Trivia, story behind the song, etc.
About 150 years ago in southern Tennessee, in a beautiful little place called Shiloh, Confederate and Union soldiers clashed in some of the most horrendous and bloody fighting of the entire Civil War. It's a sad fact that more Americans died in those two days of fighting than in all the previous conflicts in U.S. history combined. Some of the fighting took place in a lovely little peach orchard, and as it was the first week of April, all of the peach trees were in full bloom. Thanks to the cannon and gunfire the blossoms rained from the trees and covered the ground, as well as the bodies of the fallen soldiers. To those who were fighting that day it almost looked like it was snowing. Here is that story told from one soldier's point of view. [1]
