Historic veterans group to clean up Civil War tombtones, celebrate history
PINCKNEYVILLE — On Feb. 15, 1862, thousands of Union soldiers converged on Fort Donelson in Tennessee, preparing to advance against the thousands of Confederate soldiers there.

In the end, Ulysses S. Grant and his forces prevailed, taking control of the fort, signaling the way for the Union Army to move into the Southern States’ stronghold. For his win, Grant was promoted to major general by then President Abraham Lincoln.
