Great Campaign at Vicksburg Twenty Fifth Anniversary

A retrospective on the Vicksburg campaign highlights Farragut Porter Sherman and Grant as they tried twice to take Vicksburg in 1863. It recalls the Arkansas ram and Carondelet duel, the Chickasaw Bayou fighting, and Sherman's stubborn assault from December 27 to 29 with heavy Union losses and Confederate defenses. The narrative links naval and land operations and notes eventual Union withdrawal back toward New Orleans.
