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.Grant's Federal army attacked Lt. Gen. John C.Pemberton's hastily gathered Confederates. The bloody fighting seesawed back and forth until superior Union leadership broke apart the Southern line, sending Pemberton's army into headlong retreat. The victory on Mississippi'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. 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. 606 $aChampion Hill, Battle of, Miss., 1863 607 $aVicksburg (Miss.)$xHistory$ySiege, 1863 607 $aMississippi$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865$xCampaigns 615 0$aChampion Hill, Battle of, Miss., 1863. 676 $a973.7/344 700 $aSmith$b Timothy B.$f1974-$01618522 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961418403321 996 $aChampion Hill$94368243 997 $aUNINA
