Under Siege!: Three Children at the Civil War Battle for Vicksburg

166 pp. | Farrar/Kroupa | May, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-31255-8 $21.95
(2) 4-6 Three children--a girl from a prominent Vicksburg family, the son of a minister, and Ulysses S. Grant's son--share, through edited first-person accounts, their experiences over the eighteen-month Battle of Vicksburg. That Fred Grant would be permitted (even encouraged) to accompany his father on such a dangerous campaign shows modern readers a reality much different from their own. Reading list, websites. Bib., ind.
