Author’s Tranquility Press Presents: “Dawn’s Gray Steel: A Novel About Shiloh: April Fifth Through Eight 1862” by Daniel F. Korn

Author’s Tranquility Press is proud to announce the release of “Dawn’s Gray Steel: A Novel About Shiloh: April Fifth Through Eight 1862” by Daniel F. Korn. This riveting novel brings to life the harrowing events of the Battle of Shiloh, a pivotal clash in the Western Theater of the American Civil War.

“Dawn’s Gray Steel” vividly recounts the first major battle in the western theater, where two massive, ill-prepared armies collided on the shores of the Tennessee River at Pittsburg Landing. Nearby, the Shiloh Meetinghouse, a serene house of worship, would forever be associated with one of the war’s bloodiest confrontations.

As the novel opens, the South struggles with the recent losses of Tennessee forts Henry and Donelson and the capture of Nashville. These setbacks elevate Ulysses S. Grant, the determined Union leader, to fame as “Unconditional Surrender” Grant, boosting Northern morale.

Grant’s fame and victories have led to complacency, with his inexperienced Army of the Tennessee setting up camp along the Tennessee River with minimal defenses. This relaxed atmosphere worries William Tecumseh Sherman, one of Grant’s new division commanders. Despite Sherman’s warnings, Grant is confident that Confederate Army of Mississippi commander Albert Sidney Johnston won’t attack. However, Johnston is determined to prove him wrong.

“Dawn’s Gray Steel” delves into the themes of leadership, strategy, and the brutal realities of war. Korn masterfully portrays the tensions and personalities that shaped this historic battle. Through the eyes of Grant, Johnston, Sherman, Nathan Bedford Forrest and other key figures, readers are given an immersive experience of the chaos and valor that defined the Battle of Shiloh.
