| "The
Guns of Vicksburg"...On April 16, 1863 the gunboats
and transports tried to sneak past with lights blackened
and smokestacks muffled. The Confederates, of course,
saw them and opened fire. The fiery display of night
battle lasted only a short time. Only one ship, the
transport in the center of the painting was lost. Grant's
plans were successful and Vicksburg was eventually taken.
The strategy is now considered a classic and required
study at West Point.
