It offers to our visitors, whose numbers are annually increasing, and who will be with us by thousands during the coming Reunion of the Blue and Gray, a Guide that will enable them to learn all about us while here, and that they may preserve as a Souvenir of their visit. It, more than all, by its description of our business houses, of the resources and possibilities of the surrounding country, its amazing fertility, its means of access by rail and water, will Show to the outer world the advantages we offer to the immigration of both capital and labor. It will be circulated by thousands of copies in the great cities of the North, East and West, and thereby our city and people will be brought to the notice of the myriads who are always looking for congenial homes, and to the millions of capital always seeking safe and remunerative investments.

Book Description
In the same week that Union forces triumphed at Gettysburg, they also captured the river fortress at Vicksburg, Mississippi. Although much less memorialized than Gettysburg, the fall of Vicksburg was every bit as crucial to the Union cause. Pitting Ulysses S. Grant and William T. Sherman against John Pemberton and Joseph Johnston, the victorious Vicksburg Campaign helped revive a war-weary North, gave it absolute control of the Mississippi River, severed the western Confederacy from the East, and further constricted the South's ability to wage war as the Union drove ever deeper into its heartland. It also gave Grant-the campaign's chief architect-a dramatic venue for demonstrating his maturing skills and intelligence as a strategist and field commander. Unlike other volumes in the U.S. Army War College Guides to Civil War Battles series, this one examines an entire campaign, looking at many interlinked battles and joint Army-Navy operations as they played out over seven months and thousands of square miles of rivers, streams, swamps, lakes, forests, hills, and plains surrounding Vicksburg. In addition to detailed coverage of the actual Siege of Vicksburg, the book also chronicles the battles at Jackson, Port Gibson, Raymond, Champions Hill, and Big Black Ridge. Like the other volumes in the series, this one combines eyewitness accounts with maps, illustrations, and tour directions to illuminate the events for both tourists and arm-chair travellers. For anyone interested in learning more about this relatively neglected but pivotal Civil War campaign, the Guide to the Vicksburg Campaign is must reading.
