Very sad. Pity for so many deaths. And for what? War is so stupid.

Very sobering shot. And these are visited, if at all, by relatives that never knew them personally.

I was sad because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet... so I says to him, "Hey brother, ya wanna sell those shoes?"

General Grant began his attacks in May of 1863 and was repulsed by the Confederate Army under General Pemberton. Grant surrounded Vicksburg and laid it under siege until it surrendered on, of all days, July 4th. Both sides suffered very heavy casualties. The fall of Vicksburg gave the Union control of the Mississippi River. Nancy, thank you for sharing this photo with us.
