- As the Confederate forces attempted to breakout from Fort Donelson at Dudley Hill, Ulysses S. Grant seizes the opportunity by launching an assault on the Confederate right. Headed by Gen. Charles F. Smith, the Confederate line is breached in heavy fighting, while the two principal Confederate commanders, Gens. John Floyd and Gideon Pillow prepared to flee to safety.

Awesome. Thank you!
These video's are incredible! Thank you very much!
Thanks for walking us through the encirclement, battle, and ultimate surrender of Fort Donelson. My great great grandfather M.C. Hill served there with the 26th Mississippi. He would go on to fight at Champion Hill and serve at Petersburg where he was discharged.
Greg does an Amazing Job Presenting and Elaborating these Anecdotes of Historical American Civil War Chronicles.... Great Work Greg ..❤️💯❤️💯❤️
Thank you for what you guys do. I'm so lucky to have visited Gettysburg and Fort Donalson with my father who passed in '17. Planning on taking my daughters to Donalson soon. Huge fan of Grant. His home in Galena Ill. is
Brilliant thanks again 👍
*thanks y'all* 🙏
My Mom who was a Kentucky girl or should I say woman took me too this Battlefield and let me run all over it. Great video
Thank you for always adding those moments of zen at the end. It’s great for processing all the history I just learned and motivating to get out and see more of the battlefields.
Another great video, thanks
My great great grandfather and 3 x uncle both of whom were in the 32nd Tennessee Infantry CSA fought at Ft Donelson
Was down there last august . Got there late . Trying to find where my great grandfather Alfred Whitfield fell with the 11th Illinois volunteer co B
gracias< what an intense interesting history of the battle!
"Abatis" was also a popular descriptive term for those woven stake & tree defenses during the Civil war era. It was used often in contemporary accounts.
That is correct. From the French engineers of the 18th Century.
It’s great to see you guys use local experts on these tours. They add a lot of flavor to the mix.
Great segment…my family owns a small part of the battlefield there so to speak. My GG Granduncle is buried in the National Cemetery…fought with the 12th Illinois Infantry and was killed on February 15, 1862.
Col. John McArthur's regiment. They did a great fight on Dudley's Hill.
#4 video in a row. Learning real history here!
Abatis not chevaux de fraise. The later was a constructed obstruction, but the as described interlocking of fallen trees would be abatis.
Yep - I goofed. Thanks.
It’s actually Ulysses H Grant, the S was a mistake someone made on his paperwork at Westpoint.
His birth name was Hiram Ulysses Grant.
He hated that his initials spelt HUG due to the possibly his West Point classmates would ridicule him. He would have been happy with UHG.
Having riverclads helped
Oh blows at fort. My bad.I thought it said blows a …
Did the Union troops have rifle muskets at this battle?
Some did and some did not. Same for the Confederates.
… and education. 😀
Chris Mackowski provides great content but often seems to have muffled vocal sound...unfortunate.
Why point out that camera person is a 'heterosexual'? Whut?!
The French word, 'abatis', means: fallen things.
