Vicksburg National Military Park

I spent the morning touring Vicksburg NMP.  I bought a companion CD to guide me as I drove the driving tour of the fortifications that surrounded the city,  two-thirds of which are park of the park.  They also have on display the recovered remnants of an ironclad that that the Confederates sunk with a mine in the Mississippi.  I followed up my tour of the battlefield with a visit to the Old Courthouse Museum in downtown Vicksburg.
