Meet Union General Lewis Wallace, who wrote the redemption story 'Ben-Hur: A Tale of Christ' while pursuing his own redemption story after he was unfairly blamed for a Civil War battlefield loss.
. The Union won the battle but suffered 13,000 casualties — more than the Confederate army — in little more than 24 hours.
"As a result of the losses suffered by the Union army at Shiloh, many placed blame on Wallace and he was removed from Grant’s army." "I was ashamed of myself, and make haste now to declare that the mortification of pride I then endured, or, if it be preferred, the punishment of spirit, ended in a resolution to study the whole matter, if only for the gratification that there might be in having convictions of one kind or another."That resolution led him to write"Ben-Hur."
"The wheels were very marvels of construction," Wallace wrote in"Ben-Hur" of the chariots in which Ben-Hur races dangerously against antagonist Messala.
