| My favorite view of the Mississippi River is in the Vicksburg National Military Park in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The park is 1,800 acres of earthworks, cannons, monuments and the most spectacular overlook of the River. Also displayed at the park is the "USS Cairo," a Union ironclad sunk by the Confederacy and raised after more than a century underwater. |
