Engraving by (unknown but I suspect) James D. Smillie from the Painting
CAPTURE OF FORT DONELSON
Original Painting (1865) by Alonzo Chappel
Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1866 by Johnson Fry & Co.
in the Clerk's office of the District Court of the
United States for the Southern District of New York".
Early in the war, the Union realized control of the major rivers would be the key to success in the Western Theater. After capturing Fort Henry on the Tennessee River on February 6, 1862, Brig. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant advanced 12 miles cross-country to invest Fort Donelson on the Cumberland River. By February 13th, Grant had surrounded the fort with about 25,000 men, and had conducted several small attacks to probe the fort's defenses. Inside and around the fort, Confederate commander Brig. Gen. John B. Floyd led a garrison of three divisions of about 16,000 infantry and cavalry. Union Navy gunboats attempted to reduce the fort on February 14th but were beaten back by heavier Confederate artillery from the fort. On the morning of the 15th, the Confederates launched a surprise attack on the right flank of Grant's lines outside the fort. Grant counterattacked in the afternoon, and despite some success, Floyd ordered his men to fall back inside the fort. The next day, Floyd and some other senior commanders and a few men escaped the fort, turning over command to Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, a pre-war friend of Grant. Later that day, Buckner reluctantly surrendered the remaining garrison unconditionally to his old friend. The capture of Fort Donelson was a major victory for Grant and a catastrophe for the South. It helped ensure that Kentucky would stay in the Union and opened up Tennessee for Union advances up the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers. Grant received a promotion to major general for his victory and attained stature in the Western Theater, earning the nom de guerre “Unconditional Surrender.”
