Vicksburg: 1906
1906. "Washington Street -- Vicksburg, Mississippi." 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size.
Hold on the 4th of July
From Courtney Ann Jackson:
For about 80 years after the July 4, 1863, surrender of Vicksburg, the city did not celebrate the Fourth, explained local historian Gordon Cotton. "People often ask why and it’s because you don’t celebrate pillage and plunder and terrorism and that’s what happened.”
But after World War II, a visit by General Dwight Eisenhower was cause for celebration for the first time in decades.
Siege Mentality
When this picture was taken, the Siege of Vicksburg was as fresh in people's memory as the Vietnam War is for some today. I wonder how often they looked back on it? How did they see 1906 Vicksburg in light of 1860s Vicksburg?
