My Cave Life In Vicksburg: With Letters Of Trial And Travel (1864) is a memoir written by Mary Ann Loughborough about her experiences during the American Civil War, particularly during the siege of Vicksburg in 1863. Loughborough and her family were forced to take refuge in a cave during the siege, where they lived for several weeks. The book describes the difficult conditions they faced, including shortages of food and water, and the constant threat of Confederate artillery fire. Loughborough also writes about her travels before and after the siege, including a trip to Washington D.C. to meet with President Abraham Lincoln.
