    A nice assortment of 3 Dug Civil War Clay Pipes found on the banks of Mississippi River near Battle and Siege of Port Hudson Louisiana! Excavated back in the late 80s by my dad and a couple of his relic hunting friends!
    Each pipe tells a story..... two large bowls and one smaller one with black soot from the 1860s! One labeled "DUBLIN" a import from Ireland!
    These have been in my dad's personal collection of Civil War artifacts he dug over the years and I hate to get rid of them but it's time to downsize his relic room!
    All 3 are in great shape for a 140 plus years of being in the ground but please view all the photos and you be the judge of condition! All the clay pipes are 100% guaranteed authentic recovered on private property with land owners permission!
    The Siege of Port Hudson, Louisiana, (May 22 July 9, 1863) was the final engagement in the Union campaign to recapture the Mississippi Riverin the American Civil War.
    While Union General Ulysses Grant was besieging Vicksburg up river, General Nathaniel Banks was ordered to capture the lower Mississippi Confederate stronghold of Port Hudson, in order to go to Grant's aid.
    When his assault failed, Banks settled into a 48-day siege, the longest in US military history up to that point. A second attack also failed, and it was only after the fall of Vicksburg that the Confederate commander, General Franklin Gardner surrendered the port.
    The Union gained control of the river and navigation from the Gulf of Mexico through the Deep South and to the river's upper reaches.
