A 47-day siege that gave the Union the Mississippi River and split the Confederacy.
Leads, where the trail points now
- The field is at Vicksburg, MS, and arms, shot, and relics still come out of the ground there.
- Detecting or digging needs landowner or park permission, and any significant find should be recorded; many battlefields are protected.
- Work the documented account of Siege of Vicksburg to learn where the fighting, the camps, and the rout actually ran before you look.
