The Vicksburg National Military Park is so big the car tour is 16 miles long. There are hundreds of monuments throughout the park placed mostly by states.
This picture is part of a trench dug by the union soldiers during the siege at Vicksburg. This battle is one of the best documented battles ever.
Monuments like this were throughout the park
This is the ironclad ship Cairo which was sunk during the battle. It is the only one of ten that were made in 100 days for this battle. This is the front
Here art the five tanks used to generate steam. They burned coal. You can see the paddle wheels at the back
On the curved part of the front, railroad rails were attached for protection
Staying in Natchez. Supper at big mamas. Herb is enjoying his margarita. They claim it gets you naked.
Sunset in Natchez
Went to a play "Southern Exposure". In the Natchez little theater. This dude in the socializing room is decorated in shells. At intermission the drinks were complementary. Southern hospitality
