Under Siege!: Three Children at the Civil War Battle for Vicksburg AUTH-3854307 ISBN10: 1470153688Meet Lucy McRae and two other young people, Willie Lord and Frederick Grant, all survivors of the Civil War's Battle for Vicksburg. In 1863, Union troops intend to silence the cannons guarding the Mississippi River at Vicksburg even if they have to take the city by siege. To hasten surrender, they are shelling Vicksburg night and day. Terrified townspeople, including Lucy and Willie, take shelter in caves enduring heat, snakes, and near suffocation.
