| The above drawing was made by 1.2.5.10.1.8.4 William M. Sparks (1838-1922) on January 19, 1914, for his brother, Thomas J. Sparks, who was planning a trip to New Orleans, Louisiana, and to Vicksburg, Mississippi. William M. Sparks, who had served in the 72nd Illinois Infantry Regiment during the Civil War, drew this map to help his brother find the exact spots where he, William, had camped and fought during the Siege of Vicksburg in 1863. For ease of interpretation, we have added typed reproductions of his explanatory notes. |
