Jim, the reason the Corinth site is at the top of the list Hoyt and I had been discussing the construction of the interstate system in north Ala. and Miss. As for the Champion Hill site goes, I'm in the dark about that. I haven't traveled those roads in a long time. Thanks for reminding me.

Please do drop Mr. Bearman and Mr. Woodrick a line, I'm sure that would love to hear from you. They both stated in their replies that they would love some input. Also please post the reply from them.

I believe as Hoyt said we must ID and point out some sites to the officals. They can overlook a site and not even know it. However to ignore Champion hill is a huge oversight!!

On a different site, Ship Island, do you have any idea who I might contact about the negelect of the fort? I know the island is part of the National Park Service, but do they maintain these sites or is that another government agency? The gulf waters are again lapping against the side of the fort. The gun port covers are beginning to rust away and the cracks in the wall seem bigger.
