[239] Admiral Porter’s fleet kept up a continuous bombardment for
forty days. Seven thousand mortar shells and forty-five hundred
shells from the gunboats were discharged at the city. As Grant
drew his lines closer, his cannonade was kept up day and night.
The people of Vicksburg had taken shelter in caves dug in the
clay hills on which the city stands. In these caves families
lived day and night, and children were born. Famine attacked the
city, and mule-meat made a savory dish. Grant mined under some
of the Confederate works, and one of them, Fort Hill Bastion,
was blown up on June 25th with terrible effect.--_Harper’s
Encyclopædia of United States History_.
