Crossing Country

[Bduck]

Hi all, today's adventure leads to leaving Monroe, Louisiana and going into Mississippi. Crossing over the mighty Mississippi River into Vicksburg. There it was a National Military Park, the 47 day siege of Vicksburg during the civil war. This self tour took us approx 4 1/2hrs. Included was 20min presentation film at welcome center and a drive thru the battle ground. As I drove thru it started in union line eventually wrapping around into the confederate lines. One thing I noticed of how there were more statues on the confederate side than on the union side. An iron clad USS Cairo that was actually torpedoed and sunk was found and raised in 1964.
Here's a few pics to share with you.
