SUMMARY: This week marks 162 years since the Battle of Corinth, fought from October 3-4, 1862, between Confederate and Union troops over a strategic railroad crossroads. The battle resulted in significant casualties and ended in a Confederate loss, although it occupied Union forces as Confederates advanced on other fronts. The railroads’ importance was pivotal, with the crossroads being critical for logistics, influencing subsequent battles like Shiloh. To commemorate the anniversary, Shiloh National Military Park will hold events from Thursday to Saturday. More details are available on the WTVA website under the Highlighting History section.
