By Michael B. Ballard. 264 pp. It was the sad fate of General John C. Pemberton (1814-1881), a northerner serving in the Confederate army, to die in disgrace and humiliation. Because he surrendered Vicksburg to General Grant, many Confederates considered him a traitor.
Grantâs first success in the Civil War happened in February, 1862, when he led the capture of Fort Henry and Fort Donaldson on the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers. After northern forces seized New Orleans, Grant led his army to attack Vicksburg, Mississippi.
