Vicksburg's Long Shadow
The Civil War Legacy of Race and Remembrance.
Waldrep. Fought along the banks of the Mississippi during the summer of

in half - was fought and how our memory of it was shaped by the legacies
of race and slavery that played out over the decades that followed. 304
pages, 26 photographs and maps, 6"x 9", hardcover
