We found a huge inlet and anchored, lowered the dinghy and headed back to the Fort. We saw some park rangers on the shore and shouted our request to come ashore to them. One of them pointed to a small path and a place he thought suitable for tying the dinghy. As he helped us ashore, he commented that they hadn't had any visitors from water since 1862. Guess those Yanks just weren't that friendly. The Battle at Fort Donelson gave control of the Cumberland to the Yankees. From here they marched into Clarksville and on to Nashville taking control of the railroads and river. Grant lead the Union forces and history gives him the credit for changing the course of the war. We thought it was most interesting and gave us a great view of the river. Oh, yea, Floyd liked the big guns.
