Please e-mail me (with links) if you are aware of any other Vicksburg articles & I will gladly add them to the page.
Conversely, if you see a link to your article or story here and do not wish for me to publicize it further, please e-mail me and I will remove it...
*Special note to folks writing stories for press coverage: There are many wonderful pictures posted here on my Vicksburg Pages, shared by many people who are also excited by this project. Please feel free to use any picture, (they are all open source), if you believe that it will contribute to your coverage. If you have problems getting our images from Flickr, e-mail me and I will do my best to get the image(s) to you in a timely manner. (It would be terrific if you would refer back to this site so others may see them too!)
