Following the loss of the CSS Arkansas in early August 1862, Union
and Confederate eyes turned to the Yazoo River, which formed the
developing northern flank for the South's fortress at Vicksburg,
Mississippi. For much of the next year, Federal efforts to capture
the citadel focused on possession of that stream. Huge battles and
mighty expeditions were launched (Chickasaw Bayou, Yazoo Pass,
Steele's Bayou) from that direction, but the city, guarded by stout
defenses, swamps, and motivated defenders, could not be turned.
Finally, Union troops ran down the Mississippi and came up from the
south and the river defenses and the bastion itself were taken from
the east. From July 1863 to August 1864, sporadic Confederate
resistance necessitated continued Federal attention. This book
recounts the whole story.
