It’s nice to see parts of Vicksburg that aren’t directly linked to the siege. Aside from the house used as a hospital. You’re right. It’s impossible not mention its link to the CW.i didn’t know the Sultana happened at Vicksburg or Roosevelt refusing to shoot the bear either.
I had a relative (paternal) who was with Pemberton when he surrendered to Grant. He was initially thought to have died, then he was considered missing and possibly AWOL but it was determined he was actually in custody. He was subsequently paroled and allowed to return home. He walked for approximately six weeks to get back to the area just outside Augusta, GA. and his family. He finished the Civil War working the homestead. I have copies of his Confederate pay records and his parole paperwork. Excellent video!
I loved this! You can find some of the most interesting places to visit and things to talk about. Every video is full of interesting information and I am always so glad I took the time to watch. You and Scott do such a great job and your channel keeps getting better and better.
Thanks for this tour. My wife and I have been planning on visiting Vicksburg. We want to add it to our Civil War sites visited. This was very informative.
Amazing video. I didn't get to visit the town much when I was down there. So much history there. You did an amazing job of explaining the history of the town. Great job
@@WalkwithHistory Looking forward to it. Grant's Siege of Vicksburg is perhaps the most brilliant campaign fought on this continent. However, the suffering of the Cilivians is often overlooked. Here are a couple sentences from the Diary of Loughborough Mary Ann Webster. This is only breaking the daily monotony of our lives!-this thrilling knowledge of sudden and horrible death occurring near us, told tonight and forgotten in tomorrow’s renewal!-this sad news of a Vicksburg day! A little negro child, playing in the yard, had found a shell; in rolling and turning it, had innocently pounded the fuse; the terrible explosion followed, showing, as the white cloud of smoke floated away, the mangled remains of a life that to the mother’s heart had possessed all of beauty and joy. A young girl, becoming weary in the confinement of the cave, hastily ran to the house in the interval that elapsed between the slowly falling shells. On returning, an explosion sounded near her-one wild scream, and she ran into her mother’s presence, sinking like a wounded dove, the lifeblood flowing over the light summer dress in crimson ripples from a death wound in her side, caused by the shell fragment. A fragment had also struck and broken the arm of a little boy playing near the mouth of his mother’s cave. This was one day’s account of my life in a cave. From the book, "MY CAVE LIFE IN VICKSBURG. WITH LETTERS OF TRIAL AND TRAVEL."
