This photo was taken on the Brownsville Road approximately 2 and a half miles northeast of the railroad tracks in Edwards, or about 2 miles northeast of the junction of Jackson and Brownsville Road in the previous picture.  It was near this area that the wagon train was brought to a halt and ordered to reverse course and take the Bridgeport Road to the Confederate defenses at the Big Black River.  The view is looking to the northeast

Shot of the Bridgeport Road about three quarters of a mile east of the Big Black River.  The Confederate wagon train took this road on their way to the Big Black while constantly being harassed by roving Federal cavalry.  The view is looking back to the east toward Edwards
