To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The possession of this river was of vital importance to the Confederacy, as by it supplies were brought from Western Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas to the eastern shore of the Mississippi. The Con- federates were left in possession of the Mississippi from Helena to Baton Rouge, which was evacuated by the Federals shortly after Van Dorn's attack. Batteries had been established commanding the river at Port Hudson, Natchez, Grand Gulf, and Vicksburg, and a fort built some miles up the Arkansas Riv...er, from which gunboats could dash out into the Mississippi.^ On June ist Halleck was at Corinth with 100,000 men, but he made no attempt to follow up the advantage which he had already gained. Instead of initiating a vigorous campaign, which should have had for its object the destruction of Beauregard's army and the reduction of either Vicksburg or Chattanooga, he consumed five weeks in doing little more than slowly repair the railways.
