Dear diary,
I'm writing again, because today North attacked for the second time. The city is so silent compared one week ago. After North's attacks, the city looks like abandoned ghost town. Nobody wants to go out of their houses, bacause they are afraid of new attack.
Today Grant started to bomb the city. They did not do any big damage, because their bombs missed mostly all buildings. Before their attack soliders shouted to Grant: 'Hardtack'. It ment that they had coffee and beans last night, so they were feeded prepared well for the fight.
North succeded to brake our defence in couple places, but we recovered them very fast. So North could not breake our defence and they lost over 4000 mens today.

Two things I learned from your blog was how frightened the citizens of Vicksburg were when Grant attacked and how well the South fought against many more soldiers from Grants army.
How long did the siege last and who finally won?
You might improve your blog by adding another picture and more information.
