Corinth Civil War Self-Guided Tour Guide: Battery Robinett: Rebuilt in 1976, this battery was the northernmost of the College Hill Line constructed by the Federals during the summer of 1862 as an inner line of defense. The five batteries in the line were connected by breastworks and covered by abatis. Fierce fighting occurred here October 4, 1862; and it was here Colonel William P. Rogers of the Second Texas was killed. U.S. General Rosecrans ordered that Rogers be buried where he fell. The park is well marked and worth a walking tour
