Cave Entrance in Vicksburg
| Cave in a hillside occupied by the Lewis family from May 18 to July 4, 1863, during the Civil War siege of Vicksburg. Hundreds of other caves in the vicinity were similarly occupied by citizens of Vicksburg, but this is the only one which, by 1902, remained as an exhibit. In front is T.E. Lewis who was 14 years old at the time of the siege in 1863. |
