[edit] Clem at Shiloh
Note that Newark researcher E. Chris Evans, the head of the John L. Clem Statue Committee, has researched the story of "Johnny Shiloh." Clem's regiment the 3rd OVI was in Huntsville, Alabama, during the Battle of Shiloh. A relative served in the 24th OVI at Cheat Mountain when the two regiments were camped near one another. If Clem was truly at Shiloh, he might have swapped regiments and accompanied his uncle. Clem himself never addressed the Johnny Shiloh legend. Scott Mingus 14:36, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
