Talk:Battle of Fort Henry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Foote vs Grant
When I updated this page with more detail, I included Grant as the primary commander. Although this battle is considered a naval battle, until October 1862 the river gunboats were owned and manned by the War Dept; only the officers were from the Navy. Grant, as the District [of Cairo] commander, was the operational owner of the campaign. Hal Jespersen 16:16, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
