Pemberton, Defender of Vicksburg
This is the first biography of the "Defender of Vicksburg," General John C. Pemberton. A Philadelphia native, Pemberton resigned from the United States Army in 1861 to fight on the side of the South, influenced by his Virginia-born wife and by his years of service in the Southern states before the Civil War. He was made a Lieutenant General in the Confederate Army and assigned to defend Vicksburg and the Mississippi River. Written by Pemberton's grandson and based on research in official records and family papers, this book brings to light long-neglected facts revealing the tragedy of errors that led to Vicksburg's fall. It is, in the words of historian Douglas Southall Freeman, "the fairest, as well as the fullest study of the tragedy from the viewpoint of the principal Confederate actor."
Compelled to Appear in Print
John C Pemberton, the Confederate officer who surrendered Vicksburg MS to US Grant in July 1863, is not remembered as one of the South's elite generals. When his commander, Joseph E Johnston, published his wartime memoirs in 1874, he laid the blame for Vicksburg's loss squarely at the feet of Pemberton and Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Although Davis eventually had his say in his memoirs, Pemberton never did. Or so historians thought. Pemberton had, indeed, penned a response to Johnston, but it was never published and lay forgotten for over 100 years until it finally came to light in a 1995 estate sale in Cincinnati, OH. "Compelled to Appear in Print" allows one of the war's most famous scapegoats to tell his side of the story that history has, until now, seen only through the eyes of his main antagonist.
The Union Assaults at Vicksburg
It was the third week of May 1863, and after seven months and six attempts, Ulysses S. Grant was finally at the doorstep of Vicksburg. What followed was a series of attacks and maneuvers against the last major section of the Mississippi River controlled by the Confederacy—and one of the most important operations of the Civil War. Grant intended to end the campaign quickly by assault, but the stalwart defense of Vicksburg’s garrison changed his plans. The Union Assaults at Vicksburg is the first comprehensive account of this quick attempt to capture Vicksburg, which proved critical to the Union’s ultimate success and Grant’s eventual solidification as one of the most significant milit...
