Vicksburg National Military Park - Mississippi
























I visited this site because I have an ancestor, Henry S Goodrich, who fought in the battle of Vicksburg. He had been in the Ohio infantry nearly from the beginning of the war. After the seige of Vicksburg, Henry and company head to Baton Rouge for the remainder of the war. After the war ends, one month actually, Henry dies of fever and disease. He is buried in Baton Rouge National cemetery
