Fort Donelson

From the American Battlefield Trust 2021 calendar, February.

FORT DONELSON,  Tennessee

370 acres saved.

Ulysses S. Grant received a promotion to major general for his success at capturing Forts Henry and Donelson in February of 1862.

To save land at Fort Donelson and other Tennessee battlefields, the Trust has gratefully drawn upon the Tennessee Civil War Sites Preservation Fund, the state's own dedicated, annually recurring source of grant funding for battlefield preservation.

Thank You Tennessee.  --Old Secesh
