Note: Nevertheless, Johnston must have been afraid of the Union gunboats, since he developed a plan of attack at Shiloh with them foremost in his mind. on April 3, he issued a memorandum to his senior commanders that outlined his general strategy. "In the approaching battle every effort should be made to turn the left flank of the enemy so as to cut off his line of retreat to the Tennessee River and throw him back on Owl Creek, where he will be obliged to surrender," he wrote. "Every precaution must also be taken on our part to prevent unnecessary exposure of our men to the enemy's gunboats."

Note: "...Morgan's regiment is disloyal, and has been ordered down from Cumberland Gap, to be sent out of the department...."
This is fascinating - an entire Confederate regiment judged to be disloyal and to be sent to another part of the South. There is nothing further in the OR to indicate what this was about.
