The events of the Battle of Vicksburg are related in the form of a diary kept by twelve-year-old Fred Grant, who accompanied his father, General Ulysses S. Grant, on this decisive campaign of the Civil War.
"The compelling journal is the author's creation, done with meticulous research, keen historical insight and a skillful presentation that gives immediacy to the events recounted."—The New York Times Book Review.
"Douglas Gorsline's drawings...are outstanding and a perfect complement to Mr. Monjo's forceful text. Don't miss this one."—Publishers' Weekly
