The surrender of Vicksburg—a defence of General Pemberton. By Major R. W. Memminger, A. A. G. and Chief of Staff, Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana.
[Written not long after the fall of the city.]
A sufficient time has elapsed since the fall of Vicksburg for the excitement caused by that event to have somewhat subsided.
The judgment of the community was passed while this excitement was at its height, and when the public was comparatively unacquainted with the facts in the c rdships of the march to Enterprise, where the army of Vicksburg was dissolved on parole.
Such, in the humble opinion of the undersigned, is a brief synopsis of the events, preceeding and attending the fall of Vicksburg.
The friends of Lieutenant-General Pemberton cannot see his name made a target for public odium, without doing him the justice of stating such facts as can now be made public.
He did his duty manfully.
Let justice be awarded. R. W. Memminger, A. A. G., and Chief of Staff
