Thursday, Feb. 13 1862

The attack on Ft. Donelson began today. The gunboat Carondelet started the 
morning with a bombardment. This was followed by an attack by Grant's 
forces, led by C.F. Smith on the left and McClernand on the right. In an 
unusual move the Confederates changed commanders in the middle of the 
battle, when Gen. John B. Floyd arrived with reinforcements and assumed 
command from Gen. Pillow. The change failed to lead to any improvement in 
the Confederate situation.  http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/ThisDay.asp
