Defense of Vicksburg A Louisiana Chronicle

"The authors have done a superb job in bringing together unpublished letters, diaries and other manuscripts written by Louisiana soldiers defending Vicksburg. In doing so they are providing significant materials which will be of great interest to Civil War scholars. . . . a real contribution to our knowledge of the American Civil War, particularly in reference to the Vicksburg campaign. I have no doubt that it will be quoted from and cited repeatedly by scholars attempting to provide an overall view or synthesis of this extremely important campaign. In addition, the work will be read and re-read by historians seeking additional insight into the lives and experiences of common soldiers in the Civil War."--Ralph C.
