The Missisisppi River has Crested at Vicksburg
Friday, at 8;00 A.m. at 50.23 feet.

The entire Chickasaw Bayou Battle Field,
with the exception of a small strip of the Confederate Line of Defense.
Along and where the Rail Road and United States Highway # 61 are located today.

Davis Island is almost entirely under water,
Only the Cemetery and a few high spots are out of the Flood.

A very - very slow fall has begun.
