Choctaw Bayou

When the Federals begin to cross Choctaw Bayou at Snaggy Point at 12 p.m 5.15. Col Keigwin,( xiii corps) is near Wilsons Landing and does not begin to move until 5 p.m.5.15.
At midnight 5.14 he was 2 miles West of Wilsons with skirmishing going on behind him.He stops at 1:30 a.m., 5.15 near Wilsons. This is just an idea of how long the retreat line was. I do not know if the line was broken or not but this line is LONG !
