An infantry assualt followed the detonation of a mine under the positions of the Third Louisana Regiment in the Vicksburg defenses. Troops of General McPherson's corps stormed into the forty foot deep crater but were beaten back and the siege operations continued. The surrender that came nine days later made any further attempts at mining moot. (By John Osborne)
