Main Library Auditorium

Despite many efforts, only one man was able to wage a campaign during the Civil War that could be given the title “Napoleonic” based on its operational daring, speed, courage, complexity, innovation and results. The man was Ulysses S. Grant; the campaign, Vicksburg. Using original photographs, presenter Steve Pettyjohn follows the battles of Vicksburg where an outnumbered army managed to achieve one of the most decisive victories in U.S. history. Pettyjohn is a member and past president of the Cleveland Civil War Round Table.
