LT General John C Pemberton Statue

3201 Clay St
Vicksburg, MS 39183

The LT General John C Pemberton Statue in Vicksburg, MS commemorates the life and military career of Lt. General John C. Pemberton, a West Point graduate and decorated veteran of the Mexican War who chose to serve with the Confederacy during the American Civil War. As commander of the Department of Mississippi and Eastern Louisiana, Pemberton defended Vicksburg and the Mississippi River before ultimately surrendering his army in 1863.

Despite his defeat, Pemberton's loyalty to the South remained unwavering, as he voluntarily resigned his commission and continued to serve as a lieutenant colonel of artillery until the end of the war. The statue serves as a reminder of his dedication to the Confederate cause and his role in the history of Vicksburg during this tumultuous period.
