Greetings all,

There will be some great walking/car-caravan tours in Corinth this weekend starting on Friday October 3. This year the days of the week coincide with those of 1862 and the rangers at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center will be leading tours to the different parts of the battlefield at the same time the events were unfolding 152 years ago. Check out the link to the Shiloh website (yes, the Interpretive Center is a part of Shiloh) for a full schedule of the tours. They are all free! Give the park a call for more details at 662-287-9273.

FYI - 152 years ago today Col. John Oliver's brigade marched from their Corinth camps to Chewalla, TN to scout the location of Van Dorn's Army of West Tennessee. The Union knew he was on the move but were unsure of his destination. It will be Oliver's brigade that open's the battle in two days at Alexander's Crossroads.
