    Corinth - The battle at Corinth, which took place on October 3rd and 4th, 1862. After the battle at Shiloh, the Union troops occupied Corinth, Mississippi. Confederate generals Price and Van Dorn, fresh from the battle of Iuka, moved against Corinth under the latter's command. On October 3, Van Dorn attacked with 20,000 men. The advance lines of Union General William Rosecrans, who had about equal numbers, were broken, and next morning the Confederates assaulted his main position. A ferocious conflict ensued, the attackers actually entering the town. However, suffering heavy losses, the Confederates retreated to Holly Springs, Mississippi. Federal losses numbered about 2,500; Confederate killed was twice as much. The net result was firm federal retention of Memphis and Corinth, both strategic outposts.
