African American 'contrabands' digging a canal across a bend in the Mississippi river during the Siege of Vicksburg, 1862. About 1,100-1,200 African-Americans were gathered from neighboring plantations by armed parties for work on the canal. The canal dug across the base of De Soto Point to make a channel for Union gunboats and transports to bypass the Confederate batteries at Vicksburg, during the Civil War.
