Shot Bullet from Fort Donelson, TN in Matted Display Case
In February 1862, just a week after capturing Tennessee’s Fort Henry, Union Brigadier General Ulysses Grant began his assault on nearby Fort Donelson on the Cumberland River, a key gateway to the Confederacy. On February 16, after Confederate forces under Brigadier General John Floyd failed to break through Grant’s lines, the Confederates surrendered the fort, giving the Union one of its first major victories of the American Civil War (1861-65). Grant’s victory ensured that Kentucky would remain in the Union and helped open up Tennessee to future Union advances.
