This text offers a detailed study of a pivotal phase in the Vicksburg campaign, after Ulysses S. Grant moved his Army of the Tennessee to the east side of the Mississippi River, defeated John C. Pemberton at Champion's Hill, and cut off Vicksburg on its landside. What followed from May 18 to 23, 1863, was an attempt to storm the defences of Vicksburg and capture the important river town. The Union attacks on May 19 and 22 failed with considerable loss of life and Grant decided on May 23 to conduct siege approaches instead. Rather than treat this week-long period as merely an interlude between the overland march and the siege, this book takes the attacks of May 19 and 22 seriously as elements in the Federal struggle to control Vicksburg.
