Zusammenfassung

In the spring of 1862, there was no more important place in the western Confederacy than the tiny town of Corinth, Mississippi. Despite its significance, Corinth has received comparatively little attention from Civil War historians. Timothy Smith corrects that neglect, focusing on the nearly year-long campaign that opened the way to Vicksburg and presaged the Confederacy's defeat in the West.
