Civil War Battlefields: Ft. Donelson | History Traveler Episode 36

(DISCLAIMER) At the 2:08 mark, I misspoke and said February 1863 instead of February 1862. My apologies.

In the bloodiest conflict that the U.S. has ever been engaged in, the battlefields of the west often get overlooked when studying the Civil War. This episode goes to the banks of the Cumberland River in Tennessee to the Confederate defenses of Ft. Donelson to see how this unique place played a pivotal role in the struggle to reunify the country. Alway learning!
