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.
H.R. 2249 would establish a unit of Shiloh National Military Park comprised of the 20 acres containing the Battery Robinett, which will also be the site of the National Park Service interpretive center for Corinth, currently in the early stages of planning.
In addition, by linking Corinth and Shiloh Battlefield for interpretive as well as management purposes, the National Park Service would be able to tell a broader story of the Civil War's causes and impacts on civilian life, expanding beyond the battle tactics that are interpreted so well at Shiloh Battlefield.
