The Sun Rises (Southern Legacy Book 4) - Plot & Excerpts
He gave a brief thought that his father would be proud, but other than that, he cared little for his decorations. His concentration lay on his command, the Itasca, and their mission. A consumed man, he lived for battle. New Orleans had fallen swiftly, but Vicksburg had been a different matter. Heavier fortified and better defended, Vicksburg had only fallen after an extensive siege. Farragut’s fleet had supported the ground troops under the authority of General Ulysses S. Grant. With this victory, the Mississippi River was under Union control. Another thrust in the heart of the Confederacy, cutting the western Confederate army off from the main troops and supplies. One more victory…one more day until the close of this damn war. Rear Admiral Farragut had been recalled to Washington after Vicksburg fell, but Cullen expected him back soon enough. Most of his peers had taken leave when it had been offered and had gone to spend time at their respective homes, but Cullen had chosen only to take shore leave.
