February
Brigadier general Lloyd Tilghman withdraws almost all of his garrison on February 5, moving them across country eleven miles (eighteen kilometers) to the east to Fort Donelson.
With a reduced crew manning the cannons, Tilghman fights an artillery duel with the Union squadron for nearly three hours before he determines that further resistance is useless.
The Tennessee River is now open for future Union operations into the South.
