Thanks for posting the picture.

Toured the Vicksburg battlefield, but never got into town.

My bad.

Thanks again for taking the time to post.

Sincerely,

This house is near and dear to me as my GGG Grandfather WH McCardle was AAG to Gen Pemberton and spent much time in this home.

He was arrested by Gen Ord after the war for writing scathing editorials. His case went all the way to the Supreme Court in which he won. His desk and library are current in the McCardle library at the Old Courthouse museum.
