A bus load of visitors pull up to the Illinois Memorial at the Vicksburg National Military Park in Vicksburg, Miss., Wednesday, May 22, 2013. Even 150 years later, Vicksburg is still overshadowed by Gettysburg _ so much so, that the Mississippi city is having its Civil War commemoration a few weeks early rather than compete with Pennsylvania for tourist dollars around July 4. History buffs are traveling to battlegrounds to mark the 150th anniversary of the Civil War from 2011 to 2015. Union forces waged a long campaign to conquer Vicksburg and gain control of the lower Mississippi River. The effort culminated in a concentrated military attack that started May 18, 1863, and a siege that started eight days later. Confederate forces surrendered the city on July 4. (AP Photo/Rogelio V.
