Lithograph of the Battle of Fort Donelson (12–16 February 1862) . The image depicts the decisive assault by Union troops on the Confederate fort in Tennessee, as well as the surrender and capture of General Simon B. Buckner and his army on 16 February, as noted at the bottom of the image. This chromolithograph is typical of the patriotic commemorative art of the late 19th century in the USA, which presented key battles of the American Civil War to the public in a dramatic and colourful manner. The capture of Fort Donelson was a significant spring victory for the Union Army under General Ulysses S. Grant, which enabled him to open up the way further west. American history, authentic, digitally restored reproduction of a 19th-century original, exact date of the depiction unknown, historical
