The Battle of Corinth immerses you in one of the most decisive clashes of the Western Theater during the American Civil War — a brutal two-day struggle for control of a critical railroad junction. In October 1862, Confederate General Earl Van Dorn launched a daring offensive against Union forces entrenched near Corinth, Mississippi, aiming to sever their supply lines and divert attention from Bragg’s campaign in Kentucky. With both sides fielding roughly 20,000 men, the battle became a grinding test of endurance under the sweltering heat of an Indian summer.
