In front of the huge parchment map, a United States officer was loudly reporting to Wilkinson: "General, the current defense line of the Alabama River is guarded by the First, Second, and Fifth Infantry Corps, the Eleventh Dragoon Corps can reinforce from the West at any time..."
The Alabama River is the southernmost defense line of the United States in the Mississippi Territory, adjacent to Baton Rouge. There is also the Adams Fort by the river, so the American Army has deployed nearly 4,000 soldiers for defense here.
Wilkinson sternly reminded: "We must guard against the situation of the river freezing."
He turned again and said: "Major Kelvin, what is the situation on your side?"
A German officer immediately stood up: "General, three ramparts have been built near Natchez Fortress, extending to the Yazoo River. The cannons transported from Springfield are also fully deployed."
