Siege of Vicksburg Civil War Map Print

The siege that gave the Union the Mississippi and split the Confederacy in two.

For 47 days in the summer of 1863, Ulysses S. Grant's army ringed the river fortress of Vicksburg. On July 4, Lt. Gen. John C. Pemberton surrendered nearly 30,000 men, and the Union was on its way to controlling the whole Mississippi. Lincoln summed it up: "The Father of Waters again goes unvexed to the sea."

Our Siege of Vicksburg print puts the siege's finale on one bold map, with the Confederate works in red and the Union ring in blue. As a 24×36 Civil War poster or stretched canvas, it's the Civil War map print for the reader who knows the war was won in the West, too. Hang this military history wall art in the den, study, or office, or make it the gift for a history buff, dad, or grandpa who knows Grant's campaign by heart.

What's on the map

• The blue Union ring: Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's Union siege lines, with Sherman's XV Corps, McPherson's XVII Corps and the XIII Corps closing in
• The red Confederate defenses: Lt. Gen. John C. Pemberton's works wrapped around the river city
• The ground: the bend of the Mississippi, the Yazoo River, De Soto Point and the railroad to Jackson
• The result: May 18 – July 4, 1863, with 4,835 Union casualties and 29,495 Confederates surrendered
