Champion Hill: Decisive Battle for Vicksburg

The Mississippi battle between Grantâ€™s and Pembertonâ€™s forces that sealed Vicksburgâ€™s fate.
Â
The Battle of Champion Hill was the decisive land engagement of the Vicksburg Campaign. The fighting on May 16, 1863, took place just twenty miles east of the river city, where the advance of Gen. Ulysses S.Â Grantâ€™s Federal army attacked Lt. Gen. John C.Â Pembertonâ€™s hastily gathered Confederates.
Â
The bloody fighting seesawed back and forth until superior Union leadership broke apart the Southern line, sending Pembertonâ€™s army into headlong retreat. The victory on Mississippiâ€™s wooded hills sealed the fate of both Vicksburg and her large field army, propelled Grant into the national spotlight, and earned him the command of the entire US armed forces.
Â
Timothy Smith, a historian for the National Park Service, has written the definitive account of this long-overlooked battle. This book, winner of a nonfiction prize from the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters, is grounded upon years of primary research, rich in analysis and strategic and tactical action, and a compelling read.
