Vicksburg 1863
by Winston Groom
A riveting history
of the battle that permanently turned the tide of the Civil War. While
Gettysburg is better known, Winston Groom makes clear in this
engrossing narrative that Vicksburg was the more important battle from
a strategic point of view. Re-creating the epic campaign that
culminated at Vicksburg, Groom details the arduous struggle by the
Union to gain control of the Mississippi River valley and to divide the
Confederacy in two. |

IS A STATEWIDE INITIATIVE OF LIBRARIES, BOOKSTORES, MUSEUMS
and
other institutions to involve Missouri citizens in reading and
discussing the same book. The 2012
ReadMOre selection is in celebration of the Mark Twain centennial,
by reading four colorful short stories spanning the
career of Missouri's famed American author and humorist. The selected
stories include “Mysterious Stranger and Other Stories,” “The Notorious
Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,” “The $1,000,000 Bank-Note,” and “The
Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg.” These stories are included in several
anthologies. |
