Island Number Ten was a Confederate stronghold on a bend of the Mississippi River near New Madrid, Missouri, and its heavy batteries blocked Union steamboats from moving downriver. In early 1862, Union forces under Flag Officer Andrew Foote's gunboats and General John Pope's army bombarded and encircled the position, and the garrison surrendered in early April. The image shows the river landscape where that campaign was fought, a reminder that Mississippi River control was central to Union strategy in the Western Theater.
