Vicksburg, Mississippi, sat on high bluffs above a bend of the Mississippi River, and Union forces under Ulysses S. Grant besieged the Confederate garrison there from May to July 1863. The city's surrender on July 4, 1863, gave the Union control of the river and split the Confederacy in two. This print dates from about 1888, a quarter century later, when Civil War battles were often revisited in popular prints. The record's date and the Prang & Co. association come from an unverified shelflist card, so the print's exact origin should be checked against other sources.
