In the spring of 1862, a volunteer infantryman with the Union Army began a long march into history, a journey that took him from one of the bloodiest battlefields in U.S. history to the shores of Puget Sound — where he would help decide the future of Washington state.Job Carr stood out from his fellow soldiers of Company I of the 36th Indiana Volunteers for two reasons. He was 46 – whereas the average age of a Union soldier was 26.
Although technically a Union victory, both sides suffered huge casualties, with the number of men killed, wounded or missing on both sides totaling nearly 24,000. Being one of the first large-scale conflicts of the Civil War, it shocked the armies, leaders, and citizens of both sides into the realization of what this war would really mean. Today, a monument stands on the battlefield at Shiloh dedicated to the 36th Indiana Regiment.
