Shiloh is linked twice in the lead, not necessary
Done
"when the census recorded him as the well-off owner of real estate valued at $2,000 and the same amount in other assets" - remove "well-off", as its unlikely that census source compares his wealth to others
Fair, it does stand for itself
"The night before, the brigade was shifted from Withers' to Cheatham's Division by Leonidas Polk, seeking to simplify the command structure" - not seeing where Cozzens says that Polk order this?  Polk is only mentioned as proposing a turning movement and the applicable spot in the source is Withers and Cheatham had agreed to split their commands: Cheatham would direct the movements of Loomis, Manigault, Vaughan, and Maney, while Withers led Donelson, Stewart, Anderson, and Chalmers
Added ref to Daniel, which provides the detail that Polk was trying to avoid a repeat of the chaos that occurred when brigades were intermixed at Shiloh
"Cheatham's post-battle report recorded an estimated 75 casualties in Loomis' and Vaughan's brigades" - the phrasing suggests this is for the whole battle, but it's after only the December 30 narrative, so it's not clear if this is one day or the whole battle
Clarified, it is indeed only for that day
Images are all properly licensed and from the incomparable Hal Jesperson
Spot checked the Noe cite, a couple of the Cozzens cite, some of the OR cites, and a few stray ones; only issue noted mentioned above.
Good work here; placing on hold. Hog Farm  Talk 02:45, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
