"Battle of Corinth - guns in forts" Topic

Do we have detailed info about US guns palced in seven redoubts, that surrounded town of Corinth during battle ?

WIKI says that they were manned by 1st United States Infantry, Companies A, B, C, D, H, and I (siege artillery).

From Cozzens; book I know composition of:
Battery Robinett 1 US, co.C; 3x20lb Parrots
Battery Williams 1 US, co.D, I; 5x30lb Parrots, 1x8"Howitzer
Bateria Phillips 1 US, co.A, H; 1x8"Howitzer, other guns unknown?
Bateria Chapman 1 US, co.B no known guns

Does anyone have more detailed information ?

Okay, no idea about the guns. But the very first wargame I ever played was an SPI game of Corinth at a gaming club. A couple older gamers generously let me join them.

I decided to charge the redoubts, and was met with "well if you think that's a good idea…"

I hit the best hot streak of my life (didn't know it then) and smashed through the line like a bull through a screen door. My fellow players took it in stride, happy to gain a new club member and a great story, for the cost of a single defeat!

I popped over to the Battlefield Trust website, but they merely indicate that there were 11 guns total. I hesitate to speculate as the guns you have already identified are a pretty mixed bag.

Rule of thumb:

Established in the summer of 1862 on the Union inner line of defense of Corinth, Mississippi after the Union capture of Corinth.

Battery Powell was located several hundred yards northeast of the strategic crossroads of the Mobile and Ohio and the Memphis and Charleston Railroads. Battery Powell was a 4 gun artillery redoubt manned by Company K, 1st Missouri Light Artillery. The battery was the scene of heavy fighting on 4 Oct 1862 and was captured and temporarily occupied briefly by the Confederates before being retaken by Union troops.

Battery K, 1st Mo. Light Artilley was armed with 4 10lb Parrot Rifles.
