Jueves, febrero 6,1862
 TOMA DE TENNESSEE,TILGHMAN AMENAZADO
 El Brig. El general Lloyd Tilghman, CSA, estaba al mando de Fort. Henry, El general Ulises "Sam" Grant estaba en camino para hacer una visita. La Guarnición de Tilghman fue amenazada por todos los frentes,rio arriba y rio abajo en, asi que la fortaleza fue parcialmente inundada.
  Ejerciendo y llevando el valor al extremo,envió a todos,con los enfermos, unos pocos artilleros y él mismo se atrinchero en Ft Doneldson en la orilla del río Cumberland. Él y los hombres restantes se dedicaron a las defensas.La Batalla comenzó alrededor de las 11 horas con un ataque de la Marina de los EE.UU.con cañoneras desde el río. Tilghman consiguio cañonear los barcos de Foote con 59 disparos, pero se vio obligado a renunciar a las 2. Por tierra,como se comprobaria despues,las fuerzas de Grant se vieron atrapadas por el barro y los pantanos,perdiendo la pelea por completo.
