		After the Battle of Corinth, Xena's military career was apparently ended by a subordinate who was able to strike a deal with Athens.
		Despite the fact that Athenian land forces were considerable and that Athens had the greatest Navy in the known world, the Council could not come to any kind of firm decision about what to do about the arrival of Xena and her forces on a line less than forty miles away.
		Corinth did have some naval forces in the Corinthian Gulf, at the port of Aristonautes, but they were insignificant for two reasons, the harbor was very small, and the fastest way to get shipping into the Corinthian Gulf was to haul the ships overland via teams of oxen from Cenchraeae.

		Cozzens' outstanding companion to his three books on the battles of Stones River, Chickamauga, and Chattanooga attends to the battles of Iuka and Corinth in September and October 1862, in which the Mississippi prong of the Confederacy's three-pronged autumn offensive was defeated.
		Although those battles and their supporting operations have not received much historical coverage, they were hard fought and bloody in proportion to the numbers of troops engaged.
		Cozzens' battle narratives are, as usual, superlative, and he does not slight logistics or the fact that heat and dysentery claimed nearly as many lives as bullets.

		After the battle of Shiloh at Pittsburg Landing, the Confederate army withdrew to its base at Corinth, a strategic railroad center in northern Mississippi.
		Although the Union army heard the rumbling of the railroad cars that carried the Confederate troops during the night to Tupelo, they were fooled into believing that Beauregard was receiving reinforcements by the fact that the Confederates gave a rousing cheer whenever an empty train arrived.
		While the occupation of Corinth effectively disrupted the east-west track of the Confederacy connecting Charleston on the seacoast with Memphis on the Mississippi, Beauregard’s escape made it a hollow, and perhaps even a humiliating victory for General Halleck.

		Chairman, thank you for the opportunity to present the Department of the Interior's views on H.R. 2249, to establish the Corinth Unit of Shiloh National Military Park in the vicinity of Corinth, Mississippi, and in the State of Tennessee.
