As we move closer to the start of the Siege Of Vicksburg, we have a couple battles in the Vicksburg campaign and another sandwiched inbetween in Missouri. First up, the battle of Port Gibson on May 1st as Grant tries to capture the fort on his way to Vicksburg. Then, at Chalk Bluff on May 1st, the Union looks to drive Confederate Marmaduke and his troops out of Chalk Bluff. To end the episode, we have the important battle of Raymond, Mississippi on May 12th which was needed to provide a clear path to Vicksburg. A lot going on right now in the year 1863 and so much more to come!
