Elizabeth Hoxie Joyner, museum curator for Vicksburg National Military Park, has documented, through photography and cataloging, thousands of artifacts recovered from the gunboat. Joyner witnessed the restoration of Cairo from its beginning, in the early 1980s, until its completion, in 1984, and has produced this pictorial volume utilizing images from the archives of Vicksburg National Military Park.
