I told you guys that I would post a couple of pictures of Vicksburg Military Park so here is a few.

As you can tell we had a beautiful day there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

This is the entrance to the park. A very impressive site upon entering.

This is the monument to the Illinois troops. The park was celebrating it's 100th anniversary and had re-en actors there. They fired off a cannon that about scared the crap out of us, the ground rocked. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see it because we were around the corner at the battlefield.

A picture of one of the monument from across one of the fields.

This the monument of Grant. It is positioned way up on a hill looking down on the road.

These are just a few I will post more tomorrow. I have some really good ones of one of the iron clad boats that carried cannons. It's called the Cairo.
