Fort Donelson siege and battle notes from 1862

A detailed wartime reminiscence describes guard duty on a railway car, the capture and surrender of Fort Donelson, and the ensuing battle. It covers fortifications on the Cumberland River, gunboat bombardments led by Commodore Foote, and Grant’s forces driving Confederate troops from the field. It notes immense Union prisoner numbers, officer injuries, and the dramatic capture of the fort, with reflections on Buckner, Pillow, and Floyd.
