Written about a pivotal battle in the American Civil War, "When Grant Got to Vicksburg" focuses on the fact that the first Union troops killed were volunteers from Missouri. By an ironic twist of fate, they attacked a point in the Confederate lines defended by another group of volunteers from Missouri, who were fighting for the other side. "When Grant Got to Vicksburg, both sides bled the same."
