At the Battle of Corinth in October 1862, Col. W.P. Rogers of the 2nd Texas Regiment was killed at Ft. Robinette on October 4, 1862. He fell in the front of battle at the center of the enemy's stronghold, and his name was held to be honored among men as long as courage, manliness, and patriotism exist. The Confederate dead of the battle were remembered as patriots, their silent tents spread on fame's eternal camping ground while glory guards the bivouac of the dead.
