[Total loss, 239.] Except by those who suffered from it immediately, through losses and bereavements never to be forgotten, the attack on Helena soon passed out of mind. There were contemporaneous and more significant events that absorbed the public attention. On the same day Vicksburg capitulated, and four days later Port Hudson fell.
