The Vicksburg National Military Park
Vicksburg National Military Park preserves the site of the American Civil War Battle of Vicksburg, waged from March 29 to July 4, 1863. The park, located in Vicksburg, Mississippi (flanking the Mississippi River), also commemorates the greater Vicksburg Campaign which led up to the battle. Reconstructed forts and trenches evoke memories of the 47-day siege that ended in the surrender of the city. Victory here and at Port Hudson, farther south in Louisiana, gave the Union control of the Mississippi River.

Vicksburg National Military Park preserves the site of the American Civil War Battle of Vicksburg, waged from March 29 to July 4, 1863. The park, located in Vicksburg, Mississippi (flanking the Mississippi River), also commemorates the greater Vicksburg Campaign which led up to the battle. Reconstructed forts and trenches evoke memories of the 47-day siege that ended in the surrender of the city. Victory here and at Port Hudson, farther south in Louisiana, gave the Union control of the Mississippi River.
The park includes 1,325 historic monuments and markers, 20 miles (32 km) of historic trenches and earthworks, a 16-mile (26 km) tour road, a 12.5-mile (20.1 km) walking trail, two antebellum homes, 144 emplaced cannons, the restored gunboat USS Cairo (sunk on December 12, 1862, on the Yazoo River), and the Grant's Canal site, where the Union Army attempted to build a canal to let their ships bypass Confederate artillery fire.
The Cairo, also known as the Hardluck Ironclad, was the first U.S. ship in history to be sunk by a torpedo/mine. It was recovered from the Yazoo in 1964.
The Illinois State Memorial has 47 steps, one for every day Vicksburg was besieged.
The 116.28-acre (0.4706 km2) Vicksburg National Cemetery, is within the park. It has 18,244 interments (12,954 unidentified).
The time period for Civil War interments was 1866 to 1874. The cemetery is not open to new interments. The cemetery[1] has only one airman of Royal Australian Air Force buried during World War II.[2]
The remnants of Grant's Canal, a detached section of the military park, are located across from Vicksburg near Delta, Louisiana. Union Army Major General Ulysses S. Grant ordered the project, started on June 27, 1862, as part of his Vicksburg Campaign, with two goals in mind. The first was to alter the course of the Mississippi River in order to bypass the Confederate guns at Vicksburg. For various technical reasons the project failed to meet this goal. The river did change course by itself on April 26, 1876. The project met its second goal, keeping troops occupied during the laborious maneuvering required to begin the Battle of Vicksburg.

Vicksburg National Military Park Illinois State Memorial Ode to Joy
What a historic place! I closed my eyes and played my harmonica and hear the thunder of cannons and hear the screams of dying men. I mean, their coats would do stripes on my skin, but it was the warm wind that rose into the sky by the Illinois State Memorial upwards.

Vicksburg National Military Park ~ Official Trailer
This fully-narrated DVD tours Vicksburg National Military Park in Mississippi and gives a full account of the vast 1863 military and naval campaign that culminated in the siege of Vicksburg and defeat of the Confederate Army.
It was on this date - July 4th, 1863 - that the outcome of the Civil War was sealed. Ironically, Vicksburg - deep in the heart of the Confederacy and the key to control of the Mississippi River, fell to General Grant's army on the same day that General Lee's army was defeated at Gettysburg, ending the Confederate invasion into the heart of the Union in Pennsylvania.
The film features a moving music score by Civil War musician Bobby Horton with authentic battlefield illustrations and life-like paintings from Civil War artist Mort Kunstler.
This video trailer is from Finley-Holiday Films' Struggle for Vicksburg DVD and is available on location and from finleyholiday.com.
