He had been informed that the latter was waiting for him at Edwards' Station, where he was fortifying himself. It was of importance to the Federals that he should remain there until they had disposed of the enemies they were about to meet at Jackson. To avoid drawing his attention toward himself, the Union general determined not to cross the line formed by Baker's and Fourteen-Mile Creeks after their confluence.
