The Battle of Chickasaw Bayou

The Battle of Chickasaw Bayou.
Almost the the entire Battle Field has been under Water with the Great Winter Flood of 2016.
The Mississippi River is now back within its banks and is draining off the Battle Filed.
The Water was up to the Rail road and Modern day Highway # 61, which arfe locatged on the Second Bench.
As you know, the First Bench Floods, the Second Bench does not flood.
also, the Indian Mound, is above the water.
The Indian Mound was as ou know, the Key to the COnfederate Line of Defense.ASam P
