Dated July 4, 1863, the surrender at Vicksburg is the moment this lithograph commemorates, and its title credits both the army corps under Gen. U.S. Grant and the navy under Adm. David Porter. Vicksburg sat on high bluffs above the Mississippi River, and its capture after a siege of about six weeks gave the Union control of the river and effectively split the Confederacy in two. Chicago publisher Kurz & Allison issued this color print around 1888, a generation after the war, so it reflects how Americans later pictured the battle rather than an eyewitness view.
