  • Major James Edwin Powell, officer in 1st Infantry, Regular Army of the United States, detached to 25th Missouri on 24 March 1862, and depicted on marker at stop #8 along Shiloh Battlefield tour-route as head of the morning patrol down Reconnoitering Road to Fraley Field where the Battle of Shiloh began. Powell had insisted he noticed “butternuts” in the bushes watching Union parade in Spain Field the afternoon of April 5, 1862 and was believed by Colonel Everett Peabody after yet another investigation that same evening where Powell’s findings disagreed with those of Lieutenant Colonel David Moore, 21st Missouri. Beside being Regular Army, Powell’s eye-sight could be trusted; he was by occupation stated when he joined into the Mexican-American War at Castle Perote, Mexico on August 1, 1847, a hunter. Records at the National Archives also say Powell had gray eyes, brown hair, ruddy complexion, and was just 5’4”. Powell was first a private assigned to Company A, 9th Infantry ~ enlisted by “Tracey. ” The 9th was under Franklin Pierce and Winfield Scott; that’s how Powell’s second and third sons came to be named Winfield Scott and Albert Tracy.
