During this two-hour car caravan tour of historic sites in and around Corinth, Mississippi, visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about the conditions soldiers fought under in October 1862, why commanding officers made the decisions that they did, and how the courage and steadfast determination exhibited by the enlisted men shaped the course of this battle.
