There
are many remarkable stories of the American Civil War. One of the most
striking, however, is the story of the soldiers who glowed in the dark.
By the spring of 1862, it was clear that the Civil War was going to be
bloody and long . Major General Ulysses S. Grant had pushed deep into
the Confederate-led South along the Tennessee River. That April, he
camped at Pittsburgh Landing near Shiloh, Tennessee, waiting for the
arrival of Major General Don Carlos Buell and his army.
