McNairy county Tenn.

[relicreb]

I am doing research on troop movements in the McNairy county Tenn. area, (just north of Corinth MS and north west of Shiloh TN.) If anyone has any older maps or information of this area please let me know.
Thanks

I need to post a correction to the link I posted earlier the website I was referring to is

http://www.sonofthesouth.net/.

This is a truly wonderful site, it has a wealth of information. The last link I posted was the site to a rock
band.. so sorry!

Thanks for the update. That rock band site was driving me nuts.

Here's something of Sherman's movements in the area of Bolivar Co. n/of Corinth:

From Gemeral Sherman's memoirs:

Be that as it may, the army had no sooner settled down at Corinth before it was scattered: General Pope was called to the East, and his army distributed among the others; General Thomas was relieved from the command of the right wing, and reassigned to his division in the Army of the Ohio; and that whole army under General Buell was turned east along the Memphis & Charleston road, to march for Chattanooga. McClernand's "reserve" was turned west to Bolivar and Memphis. General Halleck took post himself at Corinth, assigned Lieutenant-Colonel McPherson to take charge of the railroads, with instructions to repair them as far as Columbus, Kentucky, and to collect cars and locomotives to operate them to Corinth and Grand Junction. I was soon dispatched with my own and Hurlbut's divisions northwest fourteen miles to Chewalla, to save what could be of any value out of six trains of cars belonging to the rebels which had been wrecked and partially burned at the time of the evacuation of Corinth.

Thanks for the information. Sherman said this about McNairy county (the area is so poor that a buzzard could starve to death while flying over it)
