Vicksburg NMP offers a great glimpse at a terrible time in our nation's history. Now it just needs to be kept up better! 

In the Battle of Vicksburg, which was fought from March 29 to July 4, 1863, the Union army, under the command of General Ulysses S. Grant, laid siege to the city of Vicksburg, Mississippi, hoping to gain control of the Mississippi River. The Confederate army, led by General John C. Pemberton, was determined to stop them.
