Corinth, Mississippi, where he was placed in command of a brigade composed of four Alabama regiments, the 1st Louisiana and Robertson's battery in the Army of Mississippi. On the first day of the Battle of Shiloh, April 6, 1862, Gladden was mortally wounded by a shell fragment, which required amputation of an arm on the field. General P. G. T. Beauregard, commander of the Army of Mississippi after the death of General Albert Sidney Johnston at Shiloh on April 6, 1862, described Gladden's death as follows: "In the same quarter of the field all of Withers' division, including Gladden's brigade, reinforced by John C. Breckinridge's whole reserve, soon became engaged, and Benjamin Prentiss' entire line, though fighting stoutly, was pressed back in confusion. We early lost the services of the gallant Gladden, a man of soldierly aptitudes and experience, who, after a marked influence upon the issue in his quarter of the field, fell mortally wounded." Adley Hogan Gladden died on April 12, 1862. He is buried in Magnolia Cemetery (Mobile, Alabama). See also List of American Civil War generals (Confederate) Notes References Dimitry, John Bull Smith.
