Fort Donelson Confederate Monument

At Fort Donelson in February 1862, Confederate soldiers fought in battle and some of their dead remained unknown, lying there forever. The words associated with them speak of the place as holy ground where defeated valor lies, of a lasting sorrow, lingering valor, and hope once spoken by lips now still, and call on later generations in the southern states to honor their valor and emulate their devotion to the service of their country.
