  • HARDTACK June 2007
    1 HARDTACK Indianapolis Civil War Round Table Newsletter http://indianapoliscwrt.org/ June 11, 2007 at 6:30 p.m. Meeting at Primo Banquet and Conference Center, 5649 Lee Road The Plan of the Day “I Am Too Late” Joseph Johnston and the Fall of Vicksburg As Vicksburg slowly succumbed to the ever-tightening grip of Federal forces that laid siege to the city in the summer of 1863, Southern civil and military authorities looked to Gen. Joseph E. Johnston to rescue the “Gibraltar of the Confederacy” and its garrison. The force that he assembled in the Jackson-Canton area, fifty miles east of Vicksburg, eventually swelled to 31,000 men and was called the Army of Relief. Coupled with the 30,000-man army in Vicksburg under Lt. Gen. John C. Pemberton, Confederate forces gained a brief period of numeric superiority. But despite the desperate situation in Vicksburg or the urgings of President Jefferson Davis and Secretary of War James A. Seddon, Johnston remained immovable and the window of opportunity closed when Union reinforcements arrived by the tens of thousands. With the fate of the nation and his own reputation in the balance, Johnston finally moved, but by then it was too late. On July 4, the fortress city on the Mississippi River surrendered, which sealed the fate of the Confederacy. Most works on the Vicksburg campaign, however, only touch on Joseph E. Johnston and the activities of the Army of Relief. Our June speaker, Terry Winschel, is the long-serving historian at Vicksburg National Military Park. His program will examine the controversial service of Joseph E.
