- Classic Images (of Columbia, MD) first created this video titled "Vicksburg: Key to the Mississippi" for the 125th Anniversary re-enactment in summer 1988. Jack Foley and his team did a great job with these videos during the 125th cycle (1986 - 1990).
We hope you enjoy. This is another in a series of postings on our TH-cam channel of a cool New series of Old videos -- featured only on here -- taken from a personal collection of re-enacting films and videos from the 1980s that can't be found anywhere else, or else we've tried to find them for nostalgia's sake, but did our own digging and presenting the results of our treasure hunt here. Some are taken from VHS originals or DVD transfers from those VHS copies. Originals were in Standard Def or Videotaped off of TV when they first aired. Some shot professionally and others by individuals with "portable" home video cameras on their shoulders.
Some Classic Re-enacting videos are already searchable on TH-cam, but we wanted to start a new series of some rarely or never before seen classics that either only aired once or where short lived and available only to a select few at the time. We hope you enjoy. These programs presented in this RE-ENACTING RETRO series are presented for the enjoyment of all and we don't claim them for ourselves.

I checked these videos out from our public library, over 30 years ago, and they and the little piece made by Ken Burns, rekindled my interest in the Civil War. Congrats Jack Foley on the whole series. It remains my personal favorite.
And it inspired me to co-produce my own video documentary on the 1864 Red River Campaign, entitled "The Forgotten March." It was published in VHS, also could be found in libraries, but I don't know how one would find a copy today.
Is your doco on the internet. I’d love to watch it.
Cheers from NZ.
Finally went to see Vicksburg. What a great battlefield park. Watching these videos ahead of time provides so much value when understanding the battles.
Glad that our presentations were helpful and thanks for watching.

I've seen the "Grant" documentary on the history channel....and seeing this again
I hath found my new favorite general
Thank you for uploading these! I think I watched this series in middle school history class.
They got McPherson mixed up with Schofield. Schofield did not have a command in Vicksburg campaign.
I'm 14 and reading multiple books on the civil war as I homeschool (The Final Fortress, The Killer Angels) and I thought I'd see if I could find anything interesting on that subject online. Turns out, I could.
I'm surprised your allowed to show civil war movies thanks brian
My ancestor fought at Vicksburg for the 47th Illinois.
My ancestor's fought the 34th Company F.
Schofield's 17th Corps at Raymond? I expected some inaccuracies but this takes the cake.
Finally, some content!
Hell of a time , Hell of a war
Ah nice to see something with "Vicksburg" in the title still left un-banned by Google :)

Love the videos keep them going
Thank you, American President Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and all who served to defeat the Confederates.
It is no small time investment but I strongly recommend TH-cam Vicksburg tour by Ranger Terry Winchell
And almost every single one of those 30000 men would be back in the line within a couple of weeks most of their regiments will be reconstituted such as the Missouri brigade under cockrell
minus their slaves, of course...something Grant would not permit...all those prisoners would have presented a burden he did not need...
Nope. They weren't paroled until September. And it meant that the Federal Army got the same number in exchange. Meanwhile, the Federal Army recruited an additional 30,000 USCT from the areas captured. So in total a net 60,000 man gain for the federal army. In 1863, the Confederates were facing off against federal armies. In 1864, they were facing off against federal army *groups* (Armies of the Tennessee, Cumberland, and Ohio in the west, Armies of the Potomac and the James in the east). The Confederates would never again take the field in anything resembling numeric parity.
The city was bom for 45 days and nights by Gen Grant ! .
Why did Johnson take so long to leave Jackson and attack at Vicksburg?
What is that music in the background
Sherman never fought in the Mexican war. Not sure where they got that idea.
He only performed administrative duties in the captured territory of California during the war...
Chaloner he fought in a small Indian war before reenlisting for 1861. That was about it.
Should be re-titled to reflect content. The material and Narrator is extremely pro south. Why be like that. Frequently mentions, one way or another, brave rebs, but doesn’t say much about Yankees positively. Little disrespectful, thinking about it. I got a chuckle when I realized that narrator, who starts with Masterful Campaign, and doesn’t refer to it once, throughout. Bumbling Yankees stumble into a win at Vicksburg is the more accurate title. I’m sure everything is true, to an extent, but look elsewhere for more facts.
Couldn't agree more...he kinda praising a little too much the rebels
nevertheless, Grant's bulldog tenacity comes thru...he was going to win this fight somehow, some way....
