| The Vicksburg, Mississippi, National Military Park is well worth a visit if you are ever in the area. It is Very Nicely Preserved with tons of monuments & artillery pieces, and of course the raised U.S. Gunboat, The Cairo. You can read lots of accounts of the 45-day siege but those accounts become so much more real when you walk the grounds. A fine museum is on the park, and with the Driving tour well illustrated and explanations of the positions of various units, those first-hand accounts you read make so much more sense. Give Vicksburg National Military Park a Visit ! |

| " The loss of Vicksburg was a sad and almost paralyzing blow to the South and the Army of the Mississippi, which occupied it, never recovered afterwards from the fatal and disastrous effects accruing from its fall. We lost over one hundred pieces of artillery, and more than thirty thousand stand of arms, about twenty-seven thousand prisoners, of whom sixteen thousand were fit for duty, and the rest were sick or wounded in the camps and hospitals." - Ephraim McDowell Anderson, July 4th, 1863, Vicksburg, Mississippi - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |
