The Battle of Fort Donelson took place February 13–16, 1862, on the Cumberland River in Tennessee, and it marked the first major Union victory of the Civil War. Union forces under Ulysses S. Grant forced the surrender of the Confederate garrison, and the terse demand for "unconditional and immediate surrender" made Grant a national name. The fall of the fort opened the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers to Union gunboats and armies, shifting the war's focus into the Western Theater. Its images, like this one, show a landscape of bluffs, earthworks and river traffic that helped readers at home grasp a conflict otherwise known only through newspaper accounts.
