Front
In Memory of the men, from all states of the South, who fell in the defense of Vicksburg during a siege of 47 days - May 18 to July 3, 1863. A defense unsurpassed in the annals of war for heroism, endurance of devotion, and patriotic devotion.

"We care not whence they came,
dear in their lifeless clay,
whether unknown or known to fame,
their cause and country still the same,
they died - and they wore the gray."

Our dead are mourned forever through all the future ages. In history and in story their fame shall shine, their name shall twine; they need no greater glory, tenderly fall our tears over their lifeless clay here lie the dead who fought and bled and fell in garb of gray.
Ours the fate of the vanquished whose heartaches never cease. Ours the tears, regrets and tears,
their's the eternal peace.
