During the hottest days of the summer of 1863, while the nation's
attention was focused on a small town in Pennsylvania known as
Gettysburg, another momentous battle was being fought along the
banks of the Mississippi. In the longest single campaign of the
war, the siege of Vicksburg left 19,000 dead and wounded on both
sides, gave the Union Army control of the Mississippi, and left the
Confederacy cut in half. In this highly-anticipated new work,
Christopher Waldrep takes a fresh look at how the Vicksburg
campaign was fought and remembered. He begins with a gripping
account of the battle, deftly recounting the experiences of
African-American troops fighting for the Union. Waldrep shows how
as the scars of battle faded, the memory of the war was shaped both
by the Northerners who controlled the battlefield and by the
legacies of race and slavery that played out over the decades that
followed.
