Confederate Battery Above The Mississippi River

This Confederate cannon is one of many on the bluffs above the Mississippi River.  They kept Union supplies from being shipped from the north to supply the troops.

Ulysses S. Grant Monument - Vicksburg, MS

While I was in Vicksburg Mississippi taking my Mississippi Land Surveyors Exam, I visited the Vicksburg National Military Park.  This park commemorates the Battle of Vicksburg by Union forces led by U.S. Grant, from May 19, 1863 to July 4, 1863.  I am somewhat of a history buff so anytime I can "walk where they walked" I do.

This monument of Grant is at the  site of his headquarters during the battle and ensuing siege.

Abe's BBQ - Clarksdale,MS

This place was recommended to me.  The BBQ was OK but nothing to write home about.

How Bout' Them Cotton Pillows??!!!
