The Civil War: Vicksburg National Military Park

The Siege of Vicksburg took place from May 18th to July 4th, 1863. After failing to take the city by force, Union General Ulysses S. Grant and the Army of the Tennessee laid siege to the city, held by Confederate General John C. Pemberton and his forces. On July, 4th, after 47 days, General Pemberton surrendered; and Vicksburg?the last major Confederate stronghold on the Mississippi River?was turned over to General Grant and the Union. In this program, we?tour Vicksburg National Military Park with Tim Kavanaugh, the park's supervisory ranger for interpretation.
