  Fort Henry: The History of the...

  While the Lincoln Administration and most Northerners were preoccupied with trying to capture Richmond in the summer of 1861, it would be the little-known Ulysses S. Grant who delivered the Union’s first major victories, over a thousand miles away from Washington. Grant’s new commission led to his command of the District of Southeast Missouri, headquartered at Cairo, after he was appointed by “The Pathfinder”, John C. Fremont, a national celebrity who had run for President in 1856. Fremont was one of many political generals that Lincoln was saddled with, and his political prominence ensured he was given a prominent command as commander of the Department of the West early in the war before running so afoul of the Lincoln Administration that he was court-martialed. 
  In January of 1862, Grant persuaded General Henry “Old Brains” Halleck to allow his men to launch a campaign on the Tennessee River. As soon as Halleck acquiesced, Grant moved against Fort Henry, in close coordination with the naval command of Flag Officer Andrew Hull Foote. The combination of infantry and naval bombardment helped force the capitulation of Fort Henry on February 6, 1862, and the surrender of Fort Henry was followed immediately by an attack on Fort Donelson on the Cumberland River, which earned Grant his famous nickname “Unconditional Surrender”. Grant’s forces enveloped the Confederate garrison at Fort Donelson, which included Confederate generals Simon Buckner, John Floyd, and Gideon Pillow. In one of the most bungled operations of the war, the Confederate generals tried and failed to open an escape route by attacking Grant’s forces on February 15. Although the initial assault was successful, General Pillow inexplicably chose to have his men pull back into their trenches, ostensibly so they could take more supplies before their escape. Instead, they simply lost all the ground they had taken, and the garrison was cut off yet again.

   And as they went to tell his disciples, Jesus met them, and said, “All hail.”  
             And they came and held him by the feet, and worshiped him. 
  	Then said Jesus to them, “Be not afraid: go tell my disciples that they should go into Galilee, and there will they see me.”  
  	 Now when they were going, some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all the things that were done. 
  	And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave a lot of money to the soldiers, and said, “Say, His disciples came by night, and stole his body away while we slept. And if this news comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.” 
  	So they took the money, and did as they were told: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews even today. 
  	Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had told them about. 
  	And when they saw him, they worshiped him: but some doubted. 
  	And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in the earth.” 
  	 “Go, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”  
  	After he said this, he was taken up into Heaven in a cloud and they saw him no more. The disciples returned to Jerusalem with great joy because the Lord was working with them and confirming the signs and wonders that they did.
