Letter from the Camp Diamond Meigs and Corinth defense
A detailed narrative from Meigs County soldiers recounts a late April battle near Corinth, with picket actions, retreat, and casualties. It lists wounded, missing, and prisoners among company members, notes regimental and brigade positions, and references other Meigs County alumni in nearby units. The letter also includes a political military exchange about New Orleans surrender and Yorktown operations, rapid movements, and general troop dispositions.
