Civil War
TENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
On the 26th a successful effort was made to dislodge a rebel line of sharpshooters in front of the picket line of the 10th. Here the first loss to the regiment occurred, in the death of its Adjutant, Sylvester D. Cowles, who was killed by the enemy's sharpshooters.
On the 28th the 10th moved to a point in the advance on Corinth, and there throwing up earthworks, aided in maintaining the siege until the 30th, when it was ascertained that the enemy had removed all their supplies, blown up their magazine, and evacuated their position.
