| Summary | "Vicksburg National Military Park, Mississippi" by William C. Everhart is a historical account written in the mid-20th century, specifically during the 1950s. This publication, produced by the National Park Service, serves to document and interpret the significant events surrounding the Siege of Vicksburg during the American Civil War, detailing the strategies, battles, and the ultimate surrender that marked a pivotal moment in the conflict. The book provides a thorough narrative of the military campaign led by General Ulysses S. Grant against the Confederate fortress of Vicksburg. It outlines the various failed attempts to capture the city through naval and land expeditions, the eventual successful siege, and the hardships faced by both soldiers and civilians during this trying time. Everhart describes the strategic importance of Vicksburg as a key to controlling the Mississippi River, the series of battles leading to its capture, and the implications of its fall for the Confederacy. The text also gives insights into the lives of those involved, illustrating the resilience and struggles of the troops and the civilian population caught in the tumult of war.
