LeesWarhorse, As Ole Miss (David) mentioned, I am a Park Ranger with Shiloh National Military Park, and I work at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center, a unit of the park located in northeast Mississippi. We are all Shiloh Rangers here, and I just celebrated my 20th year with the park.
Our visitor center was designed specifically to enhance a visit to Shiloh, and we attempt to bring visitors to Corinth
before making the half-hour drive to the Shiloh Battlefield. The center has three big rooms of exhibits which places Shiloh in context with Corinth and the war in the western theater. There are a number of interactive exhibits as well as three films an amazing display of Confederate flags and other amazing artifacts. From Memorial Day to Labor Day we offer Ranger-led programs thoughout the day and we always have extended walking and driving tours during the October anniversary of the Battle of Corinth.
Many visitors are not aware that Corinth is the site of the largest battle in Mississippi, and the largest seige on this continent in regards to the number of men engaged, right about 200,000. It was during the May 1862 siege that saw the largest concentration of Union troops during the war with 118,000 soldiers on hand from three Federal armies.
We have maps that will take you to miles of extant earthworks, which were dug by both Uion and Confederate troops. The downtown area (the scene of street-to-street fighting) has a number of historic sites, including a museum in the depot at the railroad crossing , the posession of which led to the Battle of Shiloh.
