| The rivers of the South were of great strategic and logistic value to both the Union and Confederate armies during the Civil War. The Mississippi and Tennessee Rivers provided vital communication and transportation routes for each side.
Experience authentic culture as we journey through living history and explore the storied conflict, both on board and in ports of call. Historic Civil War sites, museums and structures provide a glimpse of the war that divided a nation, pitting brother against brother.
We will be joined by distinguished guest speakers such as Gene Salecker, who will discuss the Civil War-time tragedy of the sinking of the SS Sultana just outside Memphis, Tennessee -- the worst maritime disaster in U.S. history. Dr. Curtis Fields provides an eerily accurate portrayal of Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, quoting in first person from the general's memoirs, articles and letters. You'll be inspired to stand in honor when tribute artist George Buss enters the room as President Abraham Lincoln. In addition, we take a musical journey with Bobby Horton and Dave Para.
