You've got all the material here, Diane, but are crippled by a less-than-stellar thread title; my suggestion would be to simply rename this - of course with the permission of @nyarb60 that is. One problem with the current title is that thanks to the members participating (like me!) it has devolved into a mostly-art print thread with relatively few actual photos.We need a Forrest photos and art gallery section!
Title:: Escape From Fort Donelson
By David Wright
View attachment 207155 Rather than surrender, Confederate Colonel Nathan Bedford Forrest leads his troops in the breakout from Fort Donelson in February 1862. In the early dawn Forrest and his men climb the ridge after crossing Lick Creek and in the distance he can see Fort Donelson as the early morning sun strikes the hill that would fall to the Yankee army that day.
I like it too; however, I don't think there's any eminence near Dover that would show the fort in that way or from that perspective and certainly not likely as Forrest himself could have seen escaping from Donelson as he did at night!That one is beautiful. I'm saving it. The lighting, the snow, the mystical mood of the painting. Thanks for sharing

Whatever the procedure is to re name the thread, please feel free to do so, whatever you may find appropriate.
