点评:Started at the Visitors Center watching the 20 minute film about the 47 day siege at Vicksburg. The film was very informative and set us up well for the self-guided driving tour of the battlefield. Be sure to download the NPS app so you can listen to the audio for the 15 stops marked throughout the drive. There are lots of places you can get out of your car and walk to see informative signs and monuments along the drive. It was a gorgeous spring day and we left the car windows down, listening to birdsong all along the way. We spent four hours total here and thoroughly enjoyed it. Learned so much, especially about the war as fought along the Mississippi River. Don’t miss the remains of the Cairo, the ironclad warship, near the battlefield cemetery - which is plenty sobering with thousands of marked and unmarked graves.
翻译:我们先在游客中心观看了一部20分钟的影片,讲述了维克斯堡47天的围城战。影片内容丰富,为我们接下来的战场自驾游做好了充分的准备。务必下载国家公园管理局(NPS)的应用程序,这样您就可以收听沿途15个站点的语音讲解。沿途有很多地方可以下车步行参观,欣赏信息丰富的标牌和纪念碑。那天是个阳光明媚的春日,我们摇下车窗,一路聆听鸟鸣。我们总共在这里待了四个小时,非常享受这次游览。我们学到了很多东西,尤其是关于密西西比河沿岸战争的了解。千万不要错过位于战场公墓附近的“开罗”号铁甲舰残骸——那里成千上万的墓碑,有的已刻上标记,有的则没有,令人不禁肃然起敬。
