Images of Chickasaw Bayou Battlefield
Web Author's Notes:
This drawing appeared in Harper's Weekly on March 7, 1863. The caption in that periodical says, A scene in one of the battles before Vicksburg. See the associated article appearing in Harper's Weekly. We can see, below, the artists rather exaggerated or uniformed view of the battle which seems to show Union troops achieving the top of the bluffs. In any case, the paper's patriotism is quite apparent.
