Welcome to the Vicksburg Campaign Message Board! This board is sponsored by CivilWarAlbum.com and is maintained by Brian Risher and Bruce Schulze. While this board does not ignore other aspects of the Civil War, our purpose is to promote discussions only related to the Vicksburg Campaigns of 1862 & 1863. This includes but is not limited to Grierson's Raid, the engagements of Chickasaw Bayou, Port Gibson, Grand Gulf, Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hill, Big Black and the siege of the Mississippi river fortress of Vicksburg. No membership is required to view the messages but membership is required to post.
