Even with my own combat experience in the middle east, I cannot comprehend such battle and carnage.

Thank you for your service. The more I research, the more in awe I become of these men.

Thank you for this documentary video. It is well done. We pronounce Corinth: Cor-inth with the emphasis on the first syllable though. General Bragg was a capable administrator, but he was a failure as a field commander.

That's a tough one to pronounce. I'll do better next time. Thank you for your input.

To the channel's narrator, thank you for this! Long have I wanted a video on Second Corinth. As it was one of the battles Rosecrans was involved in, I wanted to learn more of his performance in the battle. He displays his engineer's training by the way he designed the defenses and deployed his forces. From everything you talked about in this video, this was one of Rosecrans's toughest battles. Since you did this battle, would you be willing to do one on the Battle of Iuka? The numbers engaged were smaller, but Rosecrans fought that one too and it deserves some attention if not a lot. He was one of the most able generals the Union had in the West from 1862-63 until Chickamauga. There are certain parts of this battle that serve as a good example of a combined arms effort in a defensive victory. All things considered, the Union army lost only a portion of it's strength in this battle while the Rebels lost a chunk. It was amazing what the boys in blue achieved in rough conditions.

I will look into the Battle of Iuka, but because it's a minor battle, there will not be much information about it. I will add it to my list and see what I can come up with. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Agree, Rosecrans underrated. Course Chickamauga a major brain fart. FYI, Have History Will Travel just started a series on Rosey.

@@antoninuspius1747 I know, I watched the first episode and plan to watch the whole series. One of the reasons he was so successful was that he was an expert maneuverer which he showed in Western Virginia and Tennessee.

3rd great grandfather served in 3rd Missouri infantry (CSA) under Gates. I know the Missouri Brigade was in northern Arkansas for Pea Ridge/Yellow Tavern in March, but was not at Shiloh in April. Anyone know where Price/VanDorne were in April since they lost Missouri and Arkansas but weren't at Shiloh a month later?

I haven't looked into Price and Van Dorn much, but I can certainly look into their wereabouts during this time period.

History is in the eye of the beholder. Was Rosecrans hero or buffoon at Corinth?

Tough call, he certainly could have been a little more proactive and a lot less reactive.

I agree, but I did'nt want the video to drag on to much. Perhaps a video dedicated to Halleck alone is warrented.
