    • Vicksburg is a little different from other military parks in that its monuments are often broad and ambitious, almost like pergolas or pavilions. There are smaller monuments devoted to the states and their regiments, and a host of cannon throughout the grounds, but certainly the most memorable monuments are those on the grander order.

    • The only surviving structure from the battle, the Shirley House served as the headquarters for the 45th Illinois infantry during the battle. The structure, known during the fighting merely as "the white house," has been restored to its 1863 appearance.

    • The second most impressive Civil War monument in the park system (after the Pennsylvania monument at Gettysburg), this Pantheon-like monument to the soldiers from Illinois stands near the Shirley House and is almost by itself worthy of as much time as all the other markers and monuments in the park.

     I agree, an amazing and well maintained park. The Illinois was my favourite.    		craic Sun Jan 12, 2003 16:27 UTC
     Most interesting because I'm a bit of a civil war buff. (But only a little bit.)
