After our first major battle of 1862, we move on to the Confederate's first win since December which they pick up at the Battle of Valverde on February 20-21, 1862. We then move to another class A battle with the very important Battle of Island Number Ten. With a Union win it was the first time the Confederates lost a position on the Mississippi River and it opened up a route to Fort Pillow not far from the important city of Memphis.
