Villeré Plantation – The British work on their canal to
extend Bayou Villeré to the Mississippi has set-backs as the ground is soggy
and the walls collapse.
Rodriguez Plantation –The Americans continue building their
breastwork, digging the Rodriguez canal deeper, strengthening the earthen-mud
wall. At the center of their line they raise a huge American flag so the
British can see it three miles away. Spies on both sides work hard to discover
what Gen. Pakenham and Gen. Jackson are up to.
