If you have any of this collection of vintage booklets of Civil war photographs and history, you know what a historic treat it is. Originally published and released week by week, over a 16 week period, we are offering

Part Eight

The Siege of Vicksburg - Professor Elsen in this important chapter describes how over 100,000 gallant soldiers and a powerful fleet of gunboats and ironclads fought for forty days and nights to decide whether the near Confederate states should be cut in twain and whether the greatest river in the world should flow free to the gulf.

Port Hudson - Two hundred and fifty miles from Vicksburg down the river another Confederate garrison was being besieged by the Federal Army. At Port Hudson after the defensive works had resisted desperate assaults by the Union troops, a siege by the Union forces was undertaken. But the fall of Vicksburg sealed its doom and on July 9th its gallant garrison surrendered to General Banks.

The War Photographs here reproduced show not only the siege of these two great fortresses but preliminary events leading up to their capture and the country which was fought over. Many of the photographs of the organizations participating in the battle, the gunboats and war-time portraits of General Grant and Admiral Dewey, the latter as a Civil War Lieutenant in the navy, are of compelling interest.

CONDITION: Soft Cover stapled booklet, USED with moderate wear to cover and pages, minor damp stain bottom edge, 34 pages. Copyright date (only date shown) 1912.
