It’s a poignant irony in American history that on Independence

Day, 1863, not one but two pivotal Civil War battles ended in Union

victory, marked the high tide of Confederate military fortune, and

ultimately doomed the South’s effort at secession. But on July 4,

1863, after six months of siege, Ulysses Grant’s Union army finally

took Vicksburg and the Confederate west.

On the very same day, Robert E. Lee was in Pennsylvania, parrying

the threat to Vicksburg with a daring push north to Gettysburg. For

two days the battle had raged; on the next, July 4, 1863, Pickett’s

Charge was thrown back, a magnificently brave but fruitless

assault, and the fate of the Confederacy was sealed, though nearly

two more years of bitter fighting remained until the war came to an

end.

In Receding Tide, Edwin Cole Bearss draws from his popular Civil

War battlefield tours to chronicle these two widely separated but

simultaneous clashes and their dramatic conclusion. As the

recognized expert on both Vicksburg and Gettysburg, Bearss tells

the fascinating story of this single momentous day in our country’s

history, offering his readers narratives, maps, illustrations,

characteristic wit, dramatic new insights and unerringly intimate

knowledge of terrain, tactics, and the colorful personalities of

America’s citizen soldiers, Northern and Southern alike.
