Ulysses S. Grant had tried a half-dozen times and failed to get at the Confederate citadel of Vicksburg. Discover how he finally managed to capture the city and an entire Confederate army in Volume 2.
Volume 3: Vicksburg Redeemed: An Assessment of Confederate Combined Operations During the Baton Rouge Campaign of 1862
General Earl Van Dorn had a plan. General John Breckinridge’s Confederate Task Force, with the aid of the C.S.S. Arkansas ironclad ram, would re-take the Federally occupied Louisiana capital of Baton Rouge. Find out what happened in Volume 3.
