On the 4th of July 1863 a soldier wrote a coded message and placed it in a bottle ..... the intended recipient was Gen John Pemberton, the officer in charge of the defences at Vicksberg, which was under siege from the Unionist forces.
The message was never delivered because that same day the Unionists marched into Vicksburg and the fate of the 'Confederacy' probably assured .... they lost the Civil War two years later.
