Audio Description, Information

In 1862 Chewalla, Tennessee was a small rail depot on the Memphis & Charleston Railroad. The high ground located here, as well as its proximity to the railroad, made it a significant location for both Union and Confederate commanders on the days before and after the Battle of Corinth.
