Vicksburg

by James Reasoner Narrated by Lloyd James

Overview

Vicksburg is the fifth in a ten-book series spanning the Civil War and describing its effects on one Southern family.

In the waning months of 1862, as the Union army advances closer and closer, Cory Brannon must abandon the supply train in Vicksburg, Mississippi, to undertake a vital mission for Confederate General John Pemberton, the commander in charge of Vicksburg's defenses. Vicksburg is the key to the Mississippi River-and the future of the Confederacy-and they must not lose control. For almost a year the Federal army and navy have tried to dislodge the Confederates, but they have gained nothing-yet.

The Federal bombardment led by General Ulysses S. Grant, illness, injury, and starvation all take their toll on the defenders of Vicksburg, forcing Cory and Lucille to face decisions that threaten not only their love but also their lives.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly

Vicksburg, the fifth volume in James Reasoner's Civil War Battle series, is the latest installment in the saga of the Brannon family of Culpeper County, Va. Fighting to defend the Mississippi town in October 1862, Cory Brannon, a courageous young Confederate soldier, is determined to hold firm and stay in one piece long enough to wed his true love, Lucille Farrell, a proud fighter in her own right. There are three more volumes to come in this commodious drama, so series fans should reserve shelf space. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
