(3-93) Union Battery F. Site Marker: Battery F, Battle of Corinth. Only extant redan of six built in 1862 by U.S. troops as outer defense south and west of town. Taken on Oct. 3, 1862 by C.S. forces after fierce fighting. Battle resumed on Oct. 4 but C.S. troops forced to withdraw. Corinth Civil War Self-Guided Tour Guide: Battery F: One of the six lettered batteries ordered by U.S. General Halleck as a defensive line on the south and west of Corinth (a continuation of the Beauregard Line) was constructed by Federals during summer of 1862. This perfectly formed and preserved lunette is a four gun position of the embrasure type. The third embrasure from the left is wider than the others because it served as an opening for a road. On October 3, 1862, this battery was captured by the Confederates |
(3-93) Union Battery Williams. Site Marker: Battle of Corinth 1862. Site of Battery Williams. On Oct. 4 the cannonade from here devastated the Confederate troops attacking Battery Robinett. The advance failed, forcing Gen. Van Dorn to withdraw his forces. Corinth Civil War Self-Guided Tour Guide: Battery Williams: The battery was located where the wholesale building now stands. This battery was larger than Robinett and was armed with 30-pounder Parrott guns. Its cannon fired toward the railroad intersection during the second day of the Battle of Corinth and sent three shots into Robinett during the final CSA charge |
