Is Corinth Contraband Camp haunted?
No claims are filed here — the record keeps this place for its documented history, not for a haunting on file.
The record — long form
Corinth is the model — the 'profitable camp' that's the '$5,000 month', the 'church, school, hospital' that's the town built. The '6,000' is the freed — the 'own identities' that's the first taste, the '1,000 learned' that's the reading taught. The '55th USCT' is the formed — the '1st Alabama' that's the regiment born, the 'protected freedom' that's the soldier's turn.
The 'cotton sold' is the worked — the 'cooperative farm' that's the labor paid, the 'model camp' that's the nation's best. The 'bronze walked' is the marked — the 'six figures' that's the quarter-mile, the 'life-size' that's the people stood. Corinth is the birth — the 'freedom's first' that's the taste given, the 'moved to Memphis' that's the camp's end.
The file keeps Corinth: the profitable camp, the 6,000 freed, the regiment formed, and the bronze walk.
Corinth is the archive's Mississippi file — the camp that paid for itself.
Why this file matters
Corinth is the archive's Mississippi file — the contraband camp that became a model.
A field keeps its town — the file's suggestion being that Corinth's hold is the succeeded: the 'profit' that's the freedom's proof, the '1,000 readers' that's the minds freed, and the '55th' that's the soldiers made.
