- David D. Porter Papers | Letter signed U.S. Grant, Port Gibson, to Porter. “Our forces entered this place...this morning. Found all the rebels gone and the bridges burned. [When the stream is bridged], I will move immediately to Grand Gulf....I do not anticipate any resistance....I think tomorrow at 10 o’clock my advance may be looked for at the Gulf. Would it not be well to have most of the gunboats there at the same time.” (2 pages), 1863 May 2
