This was the first time a President had
visited Vicksburg since the days of Zach

one of the greatest events in their his
tory. The President left the train just
outside of the city, at the National ceme-
terry, which is located on the site of the
place where Pemberton surrendered to
Grant at the end of the memorable forty
days siege.
1t is a beautiful well-kept park Of
eighty acres on the side of bluff un-

thousand Union dead are buried here. The

was pointed out to the President the pro-
jected YaZoo canal by which the people
of Vicksburg expect to divert the flow
of the Yazco into the Mississippi at this
point and restore the harbor lost in 1878
when the river changed it's course and
almost stranded the city. Thence the
party moved into the crowded, fag-fes-
