Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
VICKSBURG
FEDERAL GUNBOATS RUN PAST CONFEDERATE BATTERIES, FROM A CONTEMPORARY PRINT.
Where you may see the "snowy heights of honor"
". . .in our youth, our hearts were touched with fire . . . we have seen with our own
eyes, beyond and above the gold fields. the snowy heights of honor, and it is for us
to bear the report to those who come after us". . .
UNION CAPTAIN (LATER SUPREME COURT JUSTICE) OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES
On Vicksburg's high bluffs, there
was honor enough for all. Honor
for U. S. Grant, whose persevering
courage won the battle he had
to win. Honor for Southern soldier
and citizen alike who stood
unbroken through months of continuous,
racking bombardment.
Today, Vicksburg is one of our
best marked military parks, and
the pride of our National Park
Service. You can drive along 30
miles of roads, and read 1600
monuments and plaques that recall
the heroism, North and
South, that is forever part of
your heritage. There's a museum
packed with history, and a remarkable
gun collection. You
enjoy the great sweep of the river,
and the ante-bellum houses with
their memories a century old.
But it is in Vicksburg, and in
the beautiful military park that
surrounds this historic Mississippi
city, that you best understand
the report of the Civil War
generation to every American
who enjoys freedom today.
It is an inspiring report, as it
was to Oliver Wendell Holmes,
for it outlines the heights of raw,
unconquerable courage that
Americans always attain in times
of crisis. It reminds us-and the
world, too-that freedom born
in travail, in travail must be maintained.
It is a timely message.
