This week we have 3 more battles until the official start of the Siege Of Vicksburg. Up first, on May 14th, Grant decides to take the strategic town of Jackson Mississippi. After Jackson is occupied, Grant sets his sites on Champion Hill on May 16th where Confederate General Johnston retreated. Finally, on May 17th, Pemberton tries to prevent the Union from crossing the Big Black River bridge and pave the way for Grant to take Vicksburg, which doesn't go so well.
