Major General George H. Thomas’s Army of the Tennessee continued the methodical push toward Corinth on May 21, 1862, part of the larger movement of all three Union armies ordered by Major General Henry W. Halleck on May 17, 1862. The previous lines had been in use since May 13, 1862, and May 19, 1862. With his center and left secure, Halleck ordered the right flank forward.
